Garove is the largest of the Witu Islands, which lie north of New Britain. The low, 12-km-wide elongated island contains a 5-km-wide crater open to the sea through a narrow breach on the southern side of the island, forming Johann Albrecht Harbor. The steep crater walls rise 100-150 m above the sea. Cones are present along the NE and SW coasts. Based on preserved lava flow structures on a NW coast headland Johnson and Blake (1972) suggested that they could be as young as a few hundred years, but no sources for the flows were identified using aerial photos. Fisher (1957) noted four thermal areas and a solfatara on the island. There are no recorded or dated eruptions.
