Shrinking Landslide Pool

KIBCA visited the Kolombangara Crater in late January and found that the pool formed by the June 2010 Mt Rano landslide is now one metre lower and more than 100m shorter. Walkers now only need to do a short swim of about 100m to enter the crater. The sediment plume has eroded rapidly and the Vila River is clearer.

See original story - New Crater Pool Formed - in December 2010 KIBCA News for map and pictures.
