Summary
| Description |
English: A Lama helicopter flown by a MONUSCO aircrew prepares to land inside the Nyamuragira volcano crater on 31 January 2014, in order to conduct seismologic studies. At an altitude of 9, 800 ft., the helicopter landed some 400 m away from the lava well to drop the volcanologists who were to conduct the study. Later, they were safely airborne and brought to their base at MONUSCO Headquarters in Goma. Nyamuragira and Nyiragongo are two active volcanoes, both located in the vicinity of Goma, overlooking Lake Kivu at the border with Rwanda. Nyamuragira has been described as Africa's most active volcano and has erupted over 40 times since 1885. Photo: MONUSCO.
Français : Un hélicoptère de type Lama piloté par une équipe de la MONUSCO prépare son atterrissage, le 31 janvier 2014, à l’intérieur du cratère du volcan Nyamuragira pour y effectuer des études séismologiques. A une altitude de 9.800 pieds, l’appareil a pu se poser à environ 400 mètres du puits de lave pour y déposer un groupe de volcanologues. L’équipage réussira plus tard à y extraire les chercheurs avant de les reconduire sains et sauf à la base de la MONUSCO à Goma. Le Nyamuragira et la Nyiragongo sont deux volcans en activité situés dans la périphérie de la ville de Goma, surplombant le Lac Kivu à la frontière avec le Rwanda. Les experts décrivent le Nyamuragira comme étant le volcan le plus actif en Afrique. Il est entré en éruption une quarantaine de fois depuis 1885. Photo: MONUSCO. |
