Thousands of people fled their homes in the Democratic Republic of Congo during the night after a large volcano erupted.
As the sky turned red and rivers of lava streamed from Mount Nyiragongo, there were concerns that its past deadly tragedies would be repeated.
A mass evacuation was launched in the city of Goma, which has a population of about two million people.
However, the city was largely spared and some residents are now returning.
The volcano, located 10km (six miles) from Goma, last erupted in 2002, killing 250 people and making 120,000 homeless.
There has been no official report of casualties during the latest eruption and it is unclear how many homes have been damaged.
