Lopevi is one of Vanuatu's most active and scenic volcanoes. The volcano has been in regular eruption for hundreds of years. Lopevi is the tallest point in central Vanuatu. The steep-sided mountain is an impressive sight, with a classic stratovolcano shape. The island was previously inhabited, but is now deserted due to ongoing volcanic activity.
