Summary[edit]

Description
English: Murara was a small, short-lived, cinder cone on the flank of Mount Nyamuragira, that began erupting on December 23, 1976. Eruptions from Murara reduced considerably after the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo on January 10, 1977 and ended completely in April 1977.

Photo taken at time of maximum activity, two days before the Nyiragongo eruption and just before nightfall.

Temporary camp in foreground was organised for visitors by the Virunga National Park authority.
