Verified Erta Ale Volcano

Afar Region, Ethiopia


Erta Ale Volcano is a continuously active shield volcano located in Ethiopia’s Afar Region within the Danakil Depression.

Often called the “Smoking Mountain,” it is famous for its long-lived lava lake, a rare geological feature found at only a few volcanoes worldwide. Rising from a stark desert landscape, Erta Ale is one of Ethiopia’s most active volcanoes and is situated in a region where tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart. Its glowing lava, rugged volcanic terrain, and unique geological setting make it one of Africa’s most remarkable natural landmarks.
