Haroun Tazieff the Polish scientist, has

spent his life-time studying active vol-

canoes and deep caves in all parts of the

world. In 1948, he went to lake Kivu in

the Congo to observe a new volcano

which he later named Kituro. Tazieff was

able to set up his camp very close to the

volcano while it was erupting violently.

Though he managed to take a number of

brilliant photographs, he could not stay

near the volcano for very long. He

noticed that a river of liquid rock was

coming towards him. It threatened to sur-

round him completely, but Tazieff man-

aged to escape just in time. He waited

until the volcano became quiet and he was

able to return two days later. This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of

Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures. Tazieff has

often risked his life in this way. He has been able to tell us more about active

volcanoes than any man alive.
