The Active Volcano in the Sahara; Emi Koussi in Chad

Within the vast desert of the Sahara is something which few people know about, volcanoes. The Saharan desert contains more than a dozen active volcanoes, of which the most impressive feature is called Emi Koussi. This 11,000 foot tall volcano is located in the nation of Chad, and has been the site of several massive caldera forming eruptions. As such, this unusual volcano will erupt again. This video covers the recent eruptions from this volcano, and states the general hazard which it poses in the future.
