The small forested island of Narage is the northernmost of the Witu (or Vitu) Islands, which lie north of western New Britain. Narage is the summit of a Pleistocene stratovolcano that displays strong thermal activity, and was included in the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World (Fisher, 1957) based on its geothermal activity. Boiling springs and a geyser are found along the SE and SW coasts; in 1863 a geyser 45 m high was observed at a sandbank 8 km offshore. A fringing reef, prominent on satellite imagery, encircles the island at a distance of 200 m to 400 m and encloses a narrow lagoon.
