Ol Doinyo Lengai is an active volcano in northern Tanzania. It consists of a volcanic cone with two craters, the northern of which has erupted during historical time. Uniquely for volcanoes on Earth, it has erupted natrocarbonatite, [3] an unusually low temperature and highly fluid type of magma.

2024年9月13日 · Ol Doinyo Lengai, a symmetrical, steep classical stratovolcano rises majestically about 2000m from the East Africal Rift Valley depression to a summit elevation of 2890 m. To the Maassai people, it is home of God, which is also the meaning of the name.

Ol Doinyo Lengai, active volcano, northern Tanzania, East Africa, located at the southern end of Lake Natron. It rises to an elevation of 9,442 feet (2,878 metres) and is one of the many volcanoes situated along the East African Rift System.

2017年2月3日 · Ol Doinyo Lengai, located near the southern end of the East African Rift in Tanzania, is known for its unique, low temperature, carbonatitic lava.

Oldoinyo Lengai is the only active carbonatite volcano in the world and is known for the unusually alkali-rich composition of its carbonatite lavas. Natrocarbonatite characterises the recent activity which is expressed by the current quiet effusions in the northern summit crater.

Ol Doinyo Lengai is the world’s only active natrocarbonatite volcano. The unique chemical composition of its lava, rich in sodium and potassium carbonates, results in lower eruption temperatures (about 950°F or 510°C).

The symmetrical Ol Doinyo Lengai is the only volcano known to have erupted carbonatite tephras and lavas in historical time. The prominent stratovolcano, known to the Maasai as "The Mountain of God," rises abruptly above the broad plain south of Lake Natron in the Gregory Rift Valley.

Ol’doinyo Lengai is the only active volcano in the world that erupt natrocarbonatite lava which is cooler than other lavas about (510 degrees C) compare to the temperatures of basaltic lavas (1,100 degrees C) with less silicon.

2021年3月14日 · Ol Doinyo Lengai—known to the local Maasai people as the “Mountain of God”—is a stratovolcano in Tanzania with unique geological characteristics. This photograph, taken by an astronaut from the International Space Station (ISS), captures the symmetric volcano as well as canyons and lava flows formed by previous volcanic activity.
