Volcan Rumoka, also known as Rumoka and Le Rumoka, is a
satellite cone on the flanks of the massive shield volcano of Nyamuragira. It is located about 16 km (10 mi) south of Nyamuragira's caldera
.
Rumoka last erupted between 1912 and 1913. In December 1912, lava began to flow from the volcano, continuing until March 1913.[1] In February 1913, Nyamuragira also erupted, prompting speculation that the two were affecting one another in some manner.[1]
