Mount Sisa

About

Mt. Sisa is a heavily eroded Pleistocene stratovolcano in Hela, Papua New Guinea. The taller of the mountain's two main peaks is estimated to be 2,650 metres (8, 690 ft) high. The northern peak has a communications mast. The epicentre of the 2018 Papua New Guinea earthquake was on the mountain's northern foothills. A tiny species of frogs, Choerophryne allisoni, is only known from its type locality on Mount Sisa.
