The viscosity of this lava means that you cannot outrun it. You may find yourself in the middle of a lake of the stuff before you realising it. Make sure whoever you go with really knows what they're doing or you could find yourself somewhat melted below the knees. And stay away from pillars, you don't really want them spurting on you. Enjoy! :D
I am just wondering, what is the correct elevation of this volcano. After the last eruption many sources (travel guides, wikis) list the elevation of 2,980m (9,777 ft). Dont know what is right :-)

It's getting hot in here....The viscosity of this lava means that you cannot outrun it. You may find yourself in the middle of a lake of the stuff before you realising it.

Volcano activity...videos, panoramas, pictures and much more. Probably the best webpage on Ol Doinyo Lengai's volcanic activity: www.swisseduc.ch/stromboli/perm/lengai/index-en.html
Please add this to the link list. It's worth it. Thanks

Elevation ?Hi,
Thanks for maintaining your page.
I am just wondering, what is the correct elevation of this volcano. After the last eruption many sources (travel guides, wikis) list the elevation of 2,980m (9,777 ft). Dont know what is right :-)

Re: Elevation ?Hi Fubar,
I have not seen an accurate remeasurement. Google Maps also still gives 2900m, it seems impossible that an eruption added 100m, but you never know :)
