KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — A national park in Congo best known for its endangered mountain gorillas is now inviting tourists to go on overnight treks to see a volcano spurting fountains of lava nearly 1,000 feet into the air.
Mount Nyamulagira began erupting on Nov. 6 and could continue to do so for days, or even months.
“Last night’s [eruption] was the most spectacular yet,” spokeswoman LuAnne Chad said Monday from Virunga National Park.
