Volcanic activity at Mt Tavurvur (Rabaul caldera) has declined in the past couple of weeks, but residents have been warned to avoid the crater due to occasional strong explosions. Ash continues to be ejected from the crater, and up to 15 volcanic earthquakes are registered each day. Ground deformation has continued since March 2005. Eruptive activity is likely to continue for an extended period. There is a 1 km exclusion zone around Mt Tavurvur.
