During 17-19 January, we managed to stay on top of Lengai with a small group. During much of the time, the summit was in clouds, but on 18 January, the afternoon proved to be clear and Lengai started a phase of ash eruptions lasting from around 4pm to 8pm. A detailed report about the expedition and Lengai's acitivity in the time between 17 and 21 January can be found <link 1508>here</link>.

Tanzania 2007:

In Feb. 2007, we visited Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano - before the start of the explosive activity - as well as the fascinating Ngorongoro Highlands.

In Feb. 2007, Ol Doinyo Lengai's summit was characterized by the formation of a large collapse crater and the absense of visible activity. However, magma moving at shallow depths beneath the surface was clearly audible. 
A report of this visit can be found <link 278.html?&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=890&tx_ttnews[backPid]=10&cHash=fce5344d32>here</link>.
