Previous Animation Next Animation Lake Kivu Zoom-in Zoom down to Lake Kivu, Rwanda, Africa. The northern tip of this lake is considered to be the most likely spot for the next deadly gas eruption (similar to the 1984 and 1986 eruptions at Lake Monoun and Lake Nyos respectively) due to its proximity to volcanically active areas to the north. For more information on similar gas eruptions please see animations #2346 and #2348.    Animation zooming down to Landsat-5-TM data of Lake Kivu.
