Oku Volcanic Field, Stratovolcanic field in Western High Plateau, Cameroon.
The Oku Volcanic Field extends across 100 kilometers, featuring four major stratovolcanoes that rise to 3,011 meters above sea level in the Cameroon Volcanic Line.
The volcanic formations in the Oku region date from 24.9 to 22.1 million years ago, with continuous geological activity shaping the current landscape.
The communities near Oku Volcanic Field maintain traditional practices that connect their daily life with the volcanic environment through generations.
Access to the volcanic field requires local guidance and preparation for varied weather conditions, with monitoring of geological activity before each visit.
Two crater lakes within the field, Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun, contain natural carbon dioxide reservoirs that seep through volcanic pipes.
