NYIRAGONGO
LAVA
LAKE!
|
Mount Nyiragongo is located inside Virunga National Park, in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, about 20 km north of the town
of Goma and Lake Kivu. It is one of the most active volcanoes
in Africa, and one of eight volcanoes in the Virunga Mountains.
The main crater is about two km wide and usually contains a lava lake which appears in the summit crater. It has at times been the most voluminous known lava lake in recent history. The depth of the lava lake varies considerably depending on the activity of the volcano. A maximum elevation of the lava lake was recorded at about 3250 m (10,700 ft) prior to the January 1977 eruption - a lake depth of about 600 m (2000 ft). A recent very low elevation of the lava lake was recorded at about 2700 m (8800 ft). Not much is known about how long the volcano has been erupting, but since 1882, it has erupted at least 34 times, including many periods where activity was continuous for years at a time, often in the form of a churning lava lake in the crater. In June 2010, a team of scientists and intrepid explorers stepped onto the shore of the lava lake boiling in the depths of Nyiragongo Crater. Here Are Olivier Grunewald's Photos On That Trip. Enjoy! :) |

...IF YOU THINK THIS IS H O T...You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet... 2 Peter 3: [7] The heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 
[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 
[13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. [14] Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. |
