Kavachi Volcano, Solomon Islands
Western Province
9.02 S, 157.95 E,
summit elevation -20 m
Kavachi is a shallow submarine volcano which has formed islands on 9 occasions. The volcano is located at an interesting tectonic location called a triple junction.
Island formation is temporary and a lack of stabilising lava flows means that wave action washes it away after a few months. Island formation occurs at different locations, indicating multiple active vents.
