These Breathtaking Photos of the Active Nyiragongo Volcano in Africa Will Leave You Speechless

There are a not a lot of people who are crazy enough to get anywhere near an active volcano, but those who do it (and know exactly what special gear is required for them to survive) manage to come back with some absolutely breathtaking photos. As is the case of these amazing photos of the active volcano Nyiragongo in Africa – photos that show us how insanely spectacular our planet can be.
The photographer had to use special equipment and gas masks because simply breathing the air near the volcano would’ve killed him. With the proper gear he survived and returned with these photos that will leave you breathless. Check them out below to see how spectacular Mother Earth can be!
Dangerous, but extremely beautiful! And certainly something you don’t get to see on a daily basis.
