Nyossøen
Nyossøen er en dyb kratersø i det nordvestlige Cameroun kaldet Dødens Sø, da den er mættet med kuldioxid (CO2), der kommer fra en lomme af magma der ligger under søen. Den 21. august 1986 forårsagede et kuldioxyd-udslip, at 1.700 mennesker og 3.599 husdyr omkom.

Lake Nyos is the most renowned of the numerous maars and basaltic cinder cones associated with the deeply dissected Mount Oku massif.
Combined two photographs to create semi-panoramic view of Lake Nyos. The photos themselves were taken on August 29, 1986, less than a month after the major Limnic eruption. Other version: Image:Tml15-16_Eng.jpg
