Mount Nyiragongo, One of the World’s Most Active and Dangerous Volcanoes, Blows in a Surprise Eruption
On Saturday, the Democratic Republic of Congo's Mount Nyiragongo volcano suddenly erupted, forcing thousands to flee to neighboring Rwanda to seek shelter. By Sunday, reports stated that the speed of Nyiragongo's lava had slowed and that the nearby city of Goma, home to more than one million people, had been spared.
