Adwa (Volcano)

Adwa is a stratovolcano located in Ethiopia near the border of the Afar and Issa tribes. It has a caldera that is 4 by 5 km in size and last erupted possibly in 1928. In 2000, an earthquake and satellite study detected a magma intrusion 5 km deep and 8 km long emanating from the eastern side of the volcano. Adwa is 1,733 meters tall and located in the western Somali region of Ethiopia.

Adwa (also known as Caaduba, Amoissa, or Dabita) (1733 m/5686 ft.) is a
stratovolcano in Ethiopia, located in the western Somali Region region and has a 4
by 5 km caldera.[1] Due to the location of the volcano near the boundary between
Afar and Issa tribes, little is known about the past and present behavior of the
volcano. However, an earthquake and InSAR study conducted by Derek Keir and
colleagues shows that a magma intrusion around 5 km deep and 8 km long emanated
away from the eastern side of the volcano in May 2000.[2][1]
