EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning aerial view captures the breathtaking beauty and raw power of Mount Nyiragongo, an active volcano in the Virunga Mountains of Virunga National Park, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo near the border with Rwanda. The deep main lava crater is visible, containing a mesmerizing liquid lava pool that serves as a reminder of the volcano's devastating eruptions.
Known for its destructive force, Mount Nyiragongo claimed the lives of 2,000 people in 1977 and caused widespread destruction in Goma when it erupted in 2002, leading to a refugee crisis. This composite volcano stands tall against the backdrop of East Africa's Great Rift Valley, showcasing nature's ability to both awe and terrify.
The print by Adrian Warren offers a glimpse into this unique landscape where gorillas roam freely amidst volcanic activity. It serves as a powerful reminder of Earth's ever-changing environment and highlights the importance of preserving habitats like these for future generations to appreciate. This image is not just a work of art but also a testament to our planet's incredible diversity and resilience.
