Volcano in Ethiopia
Hayli Gubbi is a shield volcano located in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. It is the southernmost volcano of the Erta Ale Range. Until November 2025, there was no direct record of any eruptions of this volcano, although records of eruptions in the area are limited by the remoteness of the region. However, studies in 1969 and 1970 identified lava flows on Hayli Gubbi's southern flank that overflowed rock formations which had formed around 8200 years Before Present (BP), showing the volcano must have erupted some time more recently than 8250 years ago prior to 2025.
