Mount Nyiragongo, one of the most active volcanoes in Africa.
Located in Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
The crater "lake of lava" at the top of the head is about 2 km wide.
The depth of the "lava lake" varies with the time of year, but in the past it has reached 600 meters.
Some eruptions at Mt. Neelagongo have lasted a year.
Bright red lava and smoke.
One cannot help but feel the energy overflowing from within the earth.
