	Mount Nyiragongo - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Nyiragongo and nearby Nyamuragira are together responsible for 40% of Africa's historical volcanic eruptions.
		Nyiragongo's lavas are made of melilite nephelinite, an alkali-rich type of volcanic rock whose unusual chemical composition may be a factor in the unusual fluidity of the lavas there.
		Lava lakes reformed in the crater in eruptions in 1982-1983 and 1994.

	City fears return of 50mph river of fire \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		Mount Nyiragongo is undergoing a "feeding episode" which appears to have started on November 10, according to the Goma Volcano Observatory, an international monitoring group based in the city.
		It is the sixth time since 1972 that Mount Nyiragongo has been recorded feeding from its 15 mile-deep magma core, a phenomenon which results in important rises in the lava lake but do not systematically trigger eruptions, the observatory says.
		Host to the biggest of the world's three lava lakes, Mount Nyiragongo sits in the Virunga mountains, which are on the border between Rwanda and the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

	EO Natural Hazards: Nyiragongo Volcano Erupts in the Congo
		Mount Nyiragongo, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, erupted today (January 17, 2002), ejecting a large cloud of smoke and ash high into the sky and spewing lava down three sides of the volcano.
		Mount Nyiragongo is located roughly 10 km (6 miles) north of the town of Goma, near the Congo?s border with Rwanda.
		Nyiragongo eruptions are extremely hazardous because the lava tends to be very fluid and travels down the slopes of the volcano quickly.
