Violent eruptions from Tavurvur and Vulcan volcanoes near Rabaul on New Britain Island forced the evacuation of almost all of the city’s 30,000 residents.

Volunteers haul blocks by hand, while British army engineers briefly repair and then withdraw, amid calls for Britain to accept the IRA truce. Local activists say the action signals progress toward united Ireland and a permanent opening, despite police and army presence.
