About Goma
Goma is a city at the northern end of Lake Kivu in eastern Congo, beside the Rwandan border and below the Nyiragongo volcano.
Goma lies at about 1,500 metres beside the lake, and parts of the city are built on old lava fields from Nyiragongo. The volcano erupted in 1977, 2002 and 2021, and lava reached parts of the town in 2002. The Rwandan town of Gisenyi, also called Rubavu, lies across the border on the lake shore.
