Rivulets of lava in Ol Doinyo Lengai's crater would appear black or barely red to the human eye, but glow red in a long camera exposure. The natrocarbonatite flows (primarily sodium carbonate) emerge at temperatures around 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit (500° Celsius), about half as hot as more common basalt lavas.
