Singani Lava Flows
Singani
A broad field of black lava left by the 1977 Karthala eruption, which buried the village in molten rock.
In 1977 the flank of Karthala volcano erupted. Lava flowed into the village of Singani on the southwest coast and reached the sea, leaving a broad expanse of black, uneven lava that the ring road crosses. You can stop and walk closer to see the lava formations and new vegetation growing through them. The coastal lava reefs and tide pools nearby are also spectacular. It lies about 20 km from Moroni and can be visited the same day as Iconi.
