Kilinailai Trench

Kilinailai Trench is a trench delineating the oceanic boundary between the Pacific Plate and North Bismarck Plates, in Papua New Guinea.[1] The Manus Trench, which looks as if it is a western continuation of the Kilinailai Trench, marks the boundary between the Caroline Plate and North Bismarck Plates.
