Lopevi

Lopevi (or Lopévi) is an uninhabited island in Malampa Province, Vanuatu.

[2] Lopevi consists of the 7-km-wide cone of the active stratovolcano by the same name.

[3] It reaches a peak of 1413 m above sea level, the tallest point in central Vanuatu.

The island was formerly inhabited, but in 1960 the population moved to nearby Paama or Epi because of the recurrent danger.

Because there are no earthquakes between 50 and 200 km below the Earth's surface, it is thought that the subducted plate has fractured, and does not appear between these depths.
