A cluster of basaltic volcanoes forms the Mundua island group in the Witu Islands of Papua New Guinea. The largest volcanic center is formed by the W tip of the 7-km-wide, linear Mundua Island and the arcuate Wingoru Island immediately to the W. The crater of this volcano is flooded by the sea through narrow channels on the N and S sides; remnants of crater walls form Wingoru island and are exposed at the W tip of Mundua island. Five small cones occupy the central and eastern sides of Mundua, two of these have well-preserved craters Johnson and Blake (1972). No eruptions have been recorded or dated.
