Unofficially designated the Central Virunga Volcanic Field for this catalog, this volcanic ridge with many small cones extends ~12 km NE-SW along the Dr Congo-Rwanda border area between the Visoke and Sabinyo edifices. As noted by Pitcavage et al. (2021), this is the third of three cinder cone fields in the Virunga area that "have produced primitive alkaline mafic lavas: (1) the Bufumbira volcanic field..., (2) Karisimbi primitive K-basanites (PKBs; Rogers et al., 1992) and (3) cinder cones located between Sabinyo and Visoke (Rogers et al., 1998)."
