Due to the eruption at Nyiragongo, I’ve decided to also cover its neighboring volcano, Nyamuragira. This is the most active volcano in All of Africa, even more so than Erta Ale (in terms of volume of lava erupted). It’s entire edifice of 500 km^3 may have been formed entirely in the last 25,000 years.

Thanks for keeping us updated, the situation there really is quite depressing. From the reporting I’ve seen, they literally just cut funding to the volcanologists in the area. It sucks that people died and lost their homes/property due to that situation.

They had little to no warning due to it, and with an active lava lake that big it was only a matter of time before it drained.
