Arusha. Tanzania is poised to enter global geological records following scientific confirmation that Mount Meru hosts one of the largest volcanic debris avalanche deposits ever documented worldwide.

According to conservation authorities and researchers, the extensive volcanic debris formations at the base of Mount Meru represent a major geological feature likely formed nearly 9,000 years ago during a powerful volcanic collapse.
