Mount Lamington vulcanological observations: progress report, February 1953

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

The activity of Mount Lamington over the last half year has tended to confirm conclusions drawn from earlier observations, namely, that conditions of slow decline in overall activity pointed towards a return to the dormant state. There have been fluctuations in activity during this period, renewed dome building in some sectors of the crater and on one occasion, explosions were reported to have occurred near the dome summit.
