Mt. Cameroon: craters & flows (pics 3)




1999 crater - There was a very large eruption in 1999 with extensive lava flow. This is the crater from that and you can still smell the sulfur and feel the heat coming out. They cancelled an event in town because this crater was putting out smoke and there were a few light tremors the day before.





1998 craters - Smaller eruptions in 1998 made these two craters. Not a lot of lava flow but they woke up the neighborhood.
1999 lava flow - This flow made it almost to the ocean 15 miles away. It covered the main road into Limbe so they made a detour in the forest.
