A lava flow with prominent flow levees issued from a breached cinder cone in the Mousa Alli volcanic complex.  This large Holocene stratovolcano was constructed along the border between Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti 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. Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1976.
