Rabaul (
German: also Simpsonhafen) is a town in
East New Britain province,
Papua New Guinea. The town is built within the
caldera of a large volcano, called
Rabaul caldera, and is continually vulnerable to eruptions. Settlements around the edge of the caldera continue collectively to be referred to as Rabaul despite the town of Rabaul itself being reduced to insignificance by a volcanic eruption in 1994. Little of its pre-1994 site having survived or been rehabilitated.
