Nelson Eby, professor at UMass Lowell
The Killer Lakes of Cameroon
On the night of August 12, 1984, 17 mysterious deaths occurred near Lake Monoun, Cameroon. Two years later, on the night of August 21, 1986, 1700+ mysterious deaths occurred near Lake Nyos. What caused these deaths – bad actors or natural processes? An international team investigated these deaths and came to a surprising conclusion.
Lakes Monoun and Nyos fill volcanic craters and are part of the active string of volcanoes known as the Cameroon line. These volcanoes lie along a SE-NW trend that spans the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the African continent. Did the geology play a role in the disasters? To find out attend the meeting.
