Looking at some photos my father-in-law took way back in Zaire (now DR or Congo).  It’s labelled “Kitazungburna”, I think, but nothing comes up on Google. Mega photo, before the phrase “elf n safety” was discovered. Any volcanologists out there?  Just photo’s the photo on my phone, will scan them at some point.

Another.

Probably Nyiragongo.

In reply to John Foster:

Thanks. Will have a check and also post some other photos (daylight ones, showing scenery and other geology) later.

Having looked again at your shots I think it is definitely Nyiragongo although never seen it referred to by another name.  I walked up it in 2016; very spectacular and memorable. Has since erupted (this year) so not sure how significantly things will have changed. Great country, if a bit unstable!
