Introduction:Mount Victory is one of 4 large Quaternary stratovolcanoes on the north coast of southeastern New Guinea, the other 3 being Hydrographers Range, Mount Trafalgar, and Mount Lamington.Mount Victory is densely mantled by rainforest, which is somewhat stunted near the summit. On the NE it abutts the deeply dissected Pleistocene Mount Trafalgar volcano. The summit crater of Mount Victory is breached to the SE and is of possible landslide origin. Several near-summit lava domes are present, the SE-most of which marks the 1925-m-high summit of the volcano. 4 small satellite cones are located on the SW side, and 2 others occur on the NE flank. --- Source: Smithsonian / GVP volcano information |
