Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano (Tanzania): eruption detailsSaturday Apr 15, 2006 12:07 PM | Age: 6 yrs
More detailed information about the recent activity at Lengai has emerged: there was probably no explosive eruption as reported earlier, but one or two very large effusive paroxysms: the first eruption occurred on 29 March, the second probably on 3 April. The eruptions produced large-volume natrocarbonatite lava flows that overflowed the crater to the West near the climbing route, travelled for more than 1 km length through a small canyon before stopping less than two km from a Maassai village at the base of the mountain. A good collection of reports and photos about the eruption can be found at Fred Belton's website. Previous newsThursday, Apr 13, 2006
