Ol Doinyo Lengaï volcan (Tanzanie) - éruptions de cendres (18 janvier 2008)

Au cours des 17-19 janvier, nous avons réussi à rester sur le dessus de Lengaï avec un petit groupe. Durant la majeure partie du temps, le sommet a été dans les nuages, mais le 18 janvier, l'après-midi s'est avérée pour être clair et Lengaï a démarré une phase d'éruptions de cendres dure d'autour de 16 à 20. On trouvera un rapport détaillé sur l'expédition et les activités du Lengaï dans le temps entre 17 et 21 janvier ici.

Ash falls from eruptions during the past weeks have been concentrated in a sector west of the volcano according to prevailing easterly winds. Much of the vegetation on the Rift Valley walls and beyond has died. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

The crater of the new ash cone on Lengai volcano. Most of the time, a very fine, dilute stream of smoke (very fine ash, probably) is issuing from its crater. Note the 3 persons on the rim in the background: (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

A small group of climbers, perhaps unaware of their dangerous position, have climbed via the old northern route. Note: this route is now extremely dangerous and virtually impassible for descend. In fact, the people on the photo had to descend on the southern route. Minutes after they had passed the crater, explosions started and threw rocks over the path they took. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

The group from before is trying to descend back along the old route, but will have to give up: the section beyond the rocks visible in the background is now a steep, smooth slope of hardened ash with no grip. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Feb 2007, one year earlier, the same view onto the north crater from the summit. The crater famous for its surreal landscape with hornitos and small lava flows was filled to the rim with natrocarbonatite products. The summit and the south crater were lush and green. Lake Natron and the Rift Valley can be seen in the background. More images from 2007 can be found here. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)
