Geological summary
The small Mugogo cone was built during a 1957 eruption. Although initially thought to be a flank vent related to the Visoke stratovolcano, ~11 km S, geochemical analysis by Condomines et al. (2015) found that the lava flows were more similar to Nyamulagira and Nyiragongo to the W, rather than Visoke.
