Erta Ale is a continuously active basaltic shield volcano in the Afar Region of northeastern Ethiopia. It is situated in the Afar Depression, a badland desert area. Erta Ale is the most active volcano in Ethiopia. Erta Ale is 613 metres (2,011 ft) high, with one or sometimes two active lava lakes at the summit which occasionally overflow on the south side of the volcano. Volcanoes with lava lakes are very rare: there are only six in the world. Unfortunately, it rained in this waterless area, the first and only in 10 years. Moisture got into the crater and caused the active release of thick sulfurous vapor, which did not allow to get photos of the unique lava lake.
