THErta Ale Volcano | Afar, Ethiopia
Erta Ale Volcano rises from the Afar Depression in northeastern Ethiopia.
It is one of the few volcanoes in the world with a long-lasting lava lake.
The name “Erta Ale” means smoking mountain in the local Afar language. The landscape looks dry and wide, shaped by heat and volcanic rock.
Molten lava remains active within the crater, glowing after sunset.
