Goma, city of volcanic eruptions, situated on lake Kivu in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in the Rift Valley.


Pedestrians in streets of Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo. Most roads are too bad for use with sedan vehicles, so 4x4 is the way to go. Note the black volcanic ash and stone road -- remains of the great lava flow that threatened the city in 2002 at speeds of 100km/h.
