Carbonatite Lava Flows


Upon reading about earthquake swarms I found an article talking about Oldoinyo Lengai, a volcano located in Tanzania. It is pretty cool, if I may say so, because it spews out carbonatite lava, as opposed to the regular silicic lava flows that are common in most volcanoes today!
