In Cameroon, a rare type of natural disaster relating to volcanic activity occurred in the nation of Cameroon. There in 1986, a landslide led to a lake releasing 1.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide gas which went on to suffocate people and livestock in an up to 15.5 mile or 25 kilometer radius. This video will discuss this disaster, which is known as a limnic eruption, and is sometimes referred to as an "exploding lake", and how it relates to the Oku volcanic field.
