Muhavura (or Muhabura) volcano, at the NE end of the Virunga Range, is a relatively youthful stratovolcano with a small 40-m-wide lake in its summit crater. The smaller Gahinga (Mgahinga) volcano is about 3.5 km E across a broad saddle. The two volcanoes have produced basanitic-to-trachyandesitic lavas. A small crater has been recently active, but the age of the latest eruption is not known.
