Kuwae

Submarine caldera between Epi and Tongoa in Vanuatu

Kuwae was a landmass that existed in the vicinity of Tongoa and was destroyed by volcanic eruption in the fifteenth century, probably through caldera subsidence. Its exact location is debated. A submarine caldera now known as the Kuwae caldera is a candidate, located between the Epi and Tongoa islands and cutting through the flank of the Tavani Ruru volcano on Epi and the northwestern end of Tongoa.
