À propos du lieu

Mount Cameroon rises as an active stratovolcano above the coastal region near Buea.

The massif stands in the Southwest Region near the Gulf of Guinea, directly bordering the urban area of Buea. Known locally by the names Fako and Mongo ma Ndemi, the peak forms a major active volcanic formation. Long-term residents in adjacent settlements adapt to living beside active geological venting and distinctive highland microclimates.
