Hargy

Volcano in Papua New Guinea

Hargy is a large volcanic caldera on the island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea. The caldera measures 12 km (7.5 mi) by 10 km (6.2 mi), and its floor is located at 150 m (490 ft) above sea level. It also hosts an inner-caldera with a steep west-facing wall. Lake Hargy, located within the caldera, drains through a narrow river that runs along the northern wall.
