Climbing the Nyiragongo Volcano, Democratic Republic of Congo

There are dozens of volcano climbs on the planet, most offering a few puffs of smoke and the distant glow of a lava flow, but temperamental Nyiragongo is still an active threat.  Her last eraption was in 2002, destroying the town of Goma.
Besides being one of the most active volcanoes in Africa, she has the largest permanent lava lake in her summit crater.
Climbing the Nyiragongo Volcano is truely an African Adventure, if just entering Congo wasn't enough of a rush!
