Mount lamington volcano is

located in Oro Province, Papua

New Guinea. Mount

Lamington is one of four large

Quaternary stratovolcanoes on

the north coast of
southeastern New Guinea. The
other three are Hydrographs
Range, Mount Trafalgar, and
Mount Victory. Mount
Lamington wasn’t recognized
as a volcano by Australian

government geologists before
the 1951 eruption. So in other
words scientist was in denial to
the fact that this could be a
possible volcano.
