New post on The Extinction Protocol: 2012 and beyond | | May 18, 2012 – PAPUA NG - Bagana volcano is one of the most active in Papua New Guinea, but it is remote, and so poorly monitored. Located on the mountainous spine of Bougainville Island, it is both far from any cities or large towns and is hard to reach due to the rough terrain around it. Satellites are the best way for volcanologists to keep an eye on the active peak, which has an elevation of 5,741 feet (1,750 meters). A new lava flow was spotted on Bagana volcano by a NASA satellite on May 16. A large plume was also seen rising about the summit crater. The volcano emits gases (including water vapor and sulfur dioxide) almost continuously, and frequently spits up thick lava flows.
