Expedition Volcano
Expedition Volcano - In the very heart of Africa, nestled deep within the lush green rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo, lies one of the most awe-inspiring yet dangerous volcanoes on planet Earth - the magnificent Mount Nyiragongo. This extraordinary volcano towers over the landscape at over 11,000 feet and contains a massive, seething cauldron of molten lava - the largest continuously active lava lake anywhere in the world. Fiery red-hot lava bubbles and churns within its vast crater, a spellbinding yet ominous sight.
But Nyiragongo's beauty belies its potential for catastrophe. This volatile volcano has erupted twice in recent decades, most destructively in 2002 when it catastrophically erupted, sending lava streaming down its flanks and into the nearby bustling city of Goma. Entire neighborhoods were consumed, buildings ignited and thousands fled the all-consuming lava. The scenes were apocalyptic. Even today, over 10 years later, Goma still bears the scars from this disaster. Nyiragongo remains one of the most hazardous and least studied volcanoes due to its remote location deep in the war-torn eastern Congo, where simmering conflict has raged for decades.
