The Active Volcano on the Congo Rwanda Border; Visoke

Nyiragongo is not the only active volcano located in the central part of Africa. Within Congo and Rwanda is another highly active volcano which last erupted in 1957. The volcano I am referring to is called Visoke, which contains a summit crater lake. Unlike its neighbor, Nyiragongo, this volcano produces slow moving lava via explosive eruptions. It may only be a matter of time before this highly active stratovolcano erupts again. This video covers the recent eruptions from this volcano, and states the general hazard which it poses in the future. This video was made by a geologist who is based in Arizona.
