Not one but 60 doors of hell
Ethiopia is counted among the most volcanically active countries in Africa. The reason for this is the East African Rift Valley present here, where the tectonic plates of the earth are separating from each other. For this reason, many active and inactive volcanoes are present in Ethiopia. The most dangerous volcano of Ethiopia is Erta Aale, lava flows continuously here. It has erupted several times, which is why it is called the smoking mountain. 22 days before the PM’s visit, Haile Gabbi, a volcano that has been sleeping for 12,000 years, has erupted in Ethiopia. Due to this, embers and ash rose up to 14 kilometers, due to which the cloud of ash reached many countries. There are more than 60 volcanoes in Ethiopia. There are about 20 volcanoes which are considered active. It is called an open lab for scientists, where the process of breaking of the continent can be seen.
