Beschreibung:

Dama Ali is a broad shield volcano in Ethiopia. It rises above the NW shore of Lake Abhe (right) at the southern end of the Kalo Plain and was the most likely source of an eruption reported to have occurred in 1631 AD. Nested circular craters are located at the summit of the dominantly basaltic volcano, and an arcuate chain of rhyolitic lava domes can be seen on the northern, western, and southern flanks. Major fumarolic activity occurs in the summit crater, and abundant hot springs are found on the volcano.
