Various close ups of rock and lava STORYLINE: APTN has filmed as close as is possible from the ground at the base of Mount Nyiragongo near Goma - the scene of Thursday's volcanic eruption that may have killed as many as 40 people and caused the evacuation of hundreds of thousands to nearby Rwanda. Many of those people who had fled the Democratic Republic of Congo were returning home on Sunday, in spite of warnings of further volcanic activity. The mountain, 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of Goma, erupted Thursday morning, sending two lava flows into the city of 500-thousand. A third flow was coming from a volcanic crater on the Rwandan border. By Sunday, the lava had formed a hot, hard crust in many places. The 11,381foot (3469 metre) Nyiragongo and 10,022 foot (3055 metre) Nyamulagira north of Goma are the only active volcanoes in the Virunga chain of eight volcanoes that runs east into Rwanda. Nyiragongo last erupted seriously in January 1977, killing about 70 people.
