New Britain is an island south west of New Ireland. New Britain is
divided into two separate provinces, West New Britain (Wes Niu Briten)
and East New Britain (Is Niu Briten).
East New Briten is perhaps the most developed part of Papua New Guinea,
with the Port Moresby area, of course. Moreover, it has also been
the cultural center of Papua New Guinea, and several of the most
famous artists come from the Rabaul area.
The Rabaul area has been heavily influenced by recurring eruptions from
the volcanos Turvurvur and Vulcan, and after the 1994 eruption, the
administrative center was moved to Kokopo.
The Rabaul bay is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, and
if you go to Papua New Guinea, you should definitely try to make it to
Rabaul.
