The satellite-detected thermal anomalies on the Nyiragongo volcano are centered over
the main crater and extend up to 3km along the eastern and western slopes. These thermal anomalies are likely to represent active fires and /or volcanic material on the surface of the volcano, and
have been identified on six separate days over the time period 10 April to 4 May 2009. This is a preliminary assessment and has not yet been validated on the ground. Map Scale for A3: 1:185,000;
