On January 2, Mount Nyamulagira in the Democratic Republic of Congo erupted, spewing lava from its southern flank and raising concerns that the 100,000 people in the town of Sake could be under threat.
The amount of lava being spewed from Mount Nyamulagira was "sustained and won't stop as soon as all that," Goma Vulcanological Observatory director Karume Katcho told AFP six days after the eruption started.
The Goma Vulcanological Observatory, which has been monitoring the eruption of nearby Mount Nyamulagira early Saturday, said the pace of destruction would increase as it hit steeper ground.
