Manda Hararo volcanic group

Manda Hararo

Manda Hararo is a group of basaltic shield volcanoes in east Africa whose last eruption was in 2009. The group is very large, spreading over 105 square kilometres (41 sq mi). At its northern end is a small example. South of this volcano is the Gumatmali-Gablaytu fissure system, an area dominated by fissure-fed lava flows. At the centre of the complex rise two volcanoes. Manda Hararo's large size is due to the fact that it is a raised block from the end of a mid-ocean ridge spreading center. It is known for its rare basalts.
