The Active Mount Cameroon Volcano; One of the World’s Largest Volcanoes

Within Africa is a volcano that when it erupts could affect half a million people. This volcano towers to a height of more than 13,000 feet, sometimes even receiving snow on its summit. The volcano in question is not Mount Kilimanjaro but rather Mount Cameroon, which is the most active volcano in the country. Having last erupted in 2012, this volcano has a history of large flank lava flows which can in only a few weeks even reach the ocean.
