Volcano: Threat Zone

This is a very nice graphic to show the volcanic system of Lake Kivu Basin. Close to one million people in the Lake Kivu Basin have potentially lethal neighbors: a lake full of deadly gases, lava-spewing cones and fissures, and active volcanoes. All were created by titanic forces pulling apart the East African Rift Zone. Check the website for an interactive view.
