Nonda volcano, on Vella Lavella Island in the Solomon Islands, is a lava dome located within an eroded crater open to the NE. No eruptions have been reported, although inhabitants reported "smoke" and explosive activity in the vicinity of andesitic Nonda Hill at the time of a major earthquake in 1959 (Taylor, 1976). The island was mapped as several coalescing Pliocene to possibly Pleistocene volcanic centers (Solomon Islands Geological Survey, 1982), and was included in the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World (Fisher, 1957) based on its geothermal activity. The Paraso thermal area displays solfataras, hot springs, and boiling mud pots.
