Tanzania’s Ol Doinyo Lengai shows early sign of eruption

Ol Doinyo Lengai is the only known active volcano with a type of lava that can move faster than a person.

A volcano in northeastern Tanzania is showing signs it may erupt.

The Ol Doinyo Lengai – called the ‘Mountain of God’ by the Masai people – is the only known active volcano with lava that can move faster than a person.

It’s now threatening nearby villages and three major sites of early human development.
