Unofficially designated as the Southern Virunga Volcanic Field for this catalog, this describes numerous cones within ~80 km2 on the lava plains of Rwanda SW of Karisimba volcano. As noted by Pitcavage et al. (2021), this is the second 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)."
