Summary

edit
Description
English: The circular, 5.5-km-wide island of Baluan (center) in the Admiralty Islands lies SE of Manus Island and across the St. Andrew Strait from Lou and Tuluman Islands (out of view to the north). This Pleistocene stratovolcano has a large summit crater and several flank vents. In contrast to its neighboring islands to the north, Baluan has erupted basaltic rather than rhyolitic rocks. The Pam Islands to the NE are visible at the upper right in this NASA Landsat image (with north to the top).
