    Ol Doinyo Lengai, known as the “Mountain of God” in the lyrical Maasai language, reigns as Earth’s most peculiar volcano. Nestled within Tanzania’s stunning landscape, it breaks the mold as the sole active volcano that spews forth natro-carbonatite lava, defying the usual silica-based molten rock.
