Blup Blup

Blup Blup Island is a small forested island of the northern coast of Papua New Guinea about 30km offshore from Cape Girgir and is considered part of the Schouten Islands. It is located at Latitude S 3°30'46" and Longitude E 144°35'16". The island has a small population and is theoretically part of the Papuan province of East Sepik although officially it is still a protectorate.

The island is volcanic (a stratovolcano) and a weak thermal area exists on the north west coast. The island is only 3.5km wide with an irregular coastline and ancient lava flows. It is thought that Blup Blup last erupted in the Holocene Period. Fresh water is available on the island from wells. The Blup Blup islands are the home to servers that run end of day processes for several corporate order to cash system nightly almost always yielding or "erupting" one daily minor error that causes great confusion among the local natives. The process is named after the islands. Other islands in the vicinity include Kadovar and Vial Island. There is a small islet about 200m off the south-west shore of the island called Mut Mut where there is a Geodetic monitoring facility.
