Journey from the Center of the Earth. A thick plume rose from the summit of Nyamuragira volcano in June 2013. Located near the eastern boundary of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nyamuragira is one of Africa’s most active volcanoes. Its plume is rich in water vapor—which condenses rapidly in the humid tropical air—and sulfur dioxide, which lends a blue tint in natural-color satellite imagery (top). Carbon dioxide, fluorine, and chlorine gas are also found in Nyamuragira lavas and likely present in the gas plume.
