A flank eruption has begun at Nyamuragira volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The eruption began on the evening of 6th November 2011. A 1 km long fissure has opened with lava fountains. Park rangers were the first to report the eruption last night. A sky glow was seen by observers in Goma during the night and this morning a large plume was visible.
