A 2002 volcanic eruption near the city of Goma poisoned this nation's Lake Kivu. One southern province contains abundant cobalt and copper reserves, and includes cities near the Lualaba River such as Likasi, Kolwezi, and Lubumbashi. That province, (*) Katanga, borders a large rift lake to the east, while Lakes Albert and Edward lie on the nation's eastern border. Its only access to the ocean is to the west.
