Murara was a small, short-lived, cinder cone on the flank of Mount Nyamuragira, that began erupting on December 23, 1976. It is located about twelve kilometers south-southwest of the main crater of Nyamuragira, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. On 18 January 1977, the height of the cone was measured as 150 metres.
