A sign carrying the former name, Parc National Albert, instead of Virunga National Park, Parq National des Virunga, still stands in front of the permit office for hikers climbing Mount Nyiragongo Volcano, Kibati, Democratic Republic of Congo. The sign is riddled with bullet holes and rusted, a metaphor for the condition of the national park. Nyiragongo is a popular destination as one of the most active volcanos in Africa.
