Perhaps you already know that Congo has 2 active volcanoes with a lava lake, just as Hawaii, Villarrica, Chile,Erta Ale lake in Ethiopia has.

quote;

Celestin Kasereka, who works for the volcanological observatory in Goma, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, considers Mount Nyiragongo to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. “Nyiragongo is one of three volcanoes in which the lava lake is still active and it is situated right next to Goma with its one million inhabitants. We have to monitor this volcano,” he said.
...
Kasereka finds this lack of precautionary measures worrying. “If we can’t monitor the volcano properly, we could be in for a nasty surprise.”

That was what happened when Nyiragongo last erupted in 2002. Several hundred people were killed by the molten lava. It also destroyed the runway at Goma airport as well as houses and business premises. Joseph Makundi, head of the government’s civil defense department, said that before the year 2002 nobody had stopped to think what might happen in Goma if the volcano were to erupt. “When it did happen, there was total chaos,” he said. “Nobody had lifted a finger, neither the government nor its partners. The present government wants to avoid repeating this mistake and has created a civil defense department.” This agency claims the government is now in a position to evacuate local residents in the vicinity of the volcano. They would be given shelter in 14 camps in the DRC and in neighboring Rwanda.

You may be interested to know that lakes can erupt as well, when they contain dissolved CO2 to saturation, if they are shaken by an earthquake, they can go off like a champagne bottle, and the CO2 can be deadly for people living downhill.

this link will give you an example:

"On August 21, 1986, possibly as the result of a landslide, Lake Nyos suddenly emitted a large cloud of CO2, which suffocated 1,700 people and 3,500 livestock in nearby towns and villages.[2][3]"
