The Bola volcano, also known as Wangore, is an andesitic stratovolcano, located south-west of the Dakataua caldera.[1] It is 1,116 metres (3,661 ft) tall and has a 400 m (1,310 ft) wide summit crater.
The most recent lava flow was erupted from the summit crater and flowed to the west. This viscous flow is at least 50 m thick, thus leaving an irregularity in the profile of the volcano. The unforested summit crater and weak fumarolic activity suggest that the most recent eruption may have been only a few hundred years ago.[1]
