Mousa Ali Volcano, Eritria

The Mousa Alli volcanic complex is a large Holocene stratovolcano constructed along the border between Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti. The 2028-m-high trachytic-to-rhyolitic volcano is the most prominent topographic feature in this area and towers above its neighbor to the SW, Manda Inakir. Rhyolitic lava domes and lava flows are found in the summit region, which is truncated by a caldera.
