A random little blog about our local volcano. Mount Nyiragongo last errupted in 2002 and wreaked quite a bit of havoc in Goma. For more info visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1766170.stm.
In the time I've been here rarely have I been able to actually see Nyiragongo as we haven't had clear skies, but I recently shot the two below and one of the volcanic activity signs (with my teammate Jan) in town which is their warning sysem. Radio is used to alert people of concerns and a siren sounds in case of evacuation. Currently the flag is green 'normal volcanic activity', whew!
