I’m a bit of a volcano junkie. I’ve hiked them all over the world, from Guatemala and Chile to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Usually, I’ll hire a porter to carry my gear – it’s a great way to give a local guy a day’s income, and save myself the pain of lugging kilos of lenses and a tripod for hours uphill.
But for Ol Doinyo Lengai, an active volcano in northern Tanzania, that wasn’t an option.
