Places Where You Can Watch Lava(岩浆)Flow
Erta Ale, Ethiopia
Erta Ale is Ethiopia's most active volcano with a lava lake in the volcano's crater(火山口). The journey to Erta Ale begins with a five-hour drive through the desert in difficult wind and sand conditions. From the base of Erta Ale, tourists make a three-hour tough hike to the crater, where they watch the lava, which has been flowing away since 1906.
Mount Nyiragongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Mount Nyiragongo has the world's largest lava lake in its crater. The most recent eruption occurred in 2002, sending lava flowing into the city of Goma and killing around 170 people. The volcano also erupted in May of 2021. Tourists can take a guided hiking tour up the mountain in four to seven hours. They should remember to pack warm clothes because Mount Nyiragongo is extremely cold at the top.
Pacaya, Guatemala
Guatemala's Pacaya first erupted about 23,000 years ago and has been erupting continuously since 1965. The fact that it's close to Antigua and less than 20 miles from Guatemala City makes it an especially popular tourist attraction. You can get to this volcano by renting a horse or hiking. It's a fairly easy one-hour journey, and once there, you get close to the lava to see volcanic activity.
Villarrica, Chile
Villarrica is a permanently active volcano near Pucon. This volcano has a small lava lake in its crater. The most recent major eruption was in 2015, when thousands of people were evacuated(疏散).
