This November 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic shows several calderas and lava flows, with Nabro in the center and Mallahle below it within the Bidu Volcanic Complex (N is at the top). The 8-km-wide Nabro summit caldera opens towards the S, and the darker lava flow towards the NWW was erupted in 2011. Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2019 (https://www.planet.com/).
