Benbow is an impressive 2 km wide crater on Ambrym volcano. Benbow is the site of the most dangerous eruptions on Ambrym.
The crater is notable for the long active lava lakes which are regularly found in the crater. Climbing the rim of Benbow crater is one of the great experiences in the south pacific.
