Background
The dissected Tangi stratovolcano, occupying the southern end of New Britain's Cape Gloucester Peninsula, contains a breached summit crater and a single flank cone on the SW flank. The degree of erosional dissection suggests activity ceased during the Pleistocene (Johnson et al. 1971).---
