Narage Volcano is located 32km WNW of Garove Island, offshore New Britain. Current activity consists of hot springs and geysers. In 1863 there was a 45m high geyser observed from a sandbank 8km offshore. The fumaroles have been used by residents of the area for cooking food. Similar practices also occurred at Walo geothermal area in West New Britain.
