Congo Volcano: The Facts
Mount Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo is one of Africa’s most attractive
volcanoes. In all, there are eight volcanoes along the borders of Rwanda, Congo and Uganda.
Nyirangongo was last active in 1994, when a lava lake reappeared in its summit crater.
The latest eruption is more serious. Lava from Nyirangongo can travel at 60 kilometers per hour
and some of it might reach a nearby lake and do further damage.
Bill Evans of the US Geological Survey said lava could react with gas in the lake, with catastrophic
consequences. The gas is composed of carbon dioxide and methane and could suffocate local
people living around the lake.
Both Nyirangongo and another active volcano are located in the Virunga mountain range,
which straddles the Rwandan border. The pair are responsible for nearly two-fifths of Africa’s
historical eruptions.
