Erta Ale, a continuously active basaltic shield volcano in a badlands desert area, known as the Afar or Danakil Depression spanning the border with Eritrea, is the most active volcano in Ethiopia.
The Afar Depression is part of the East African Rift, a place where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other, rather than colliding.
In the local Afar language Erta Ale means “smoking mountain” and its southernmost pit is known locally as “the gateway to hell”.
