Erta Ale is 613 metres (2,011 ft) high, with one or sometimes two active lava lakes at the summit which occasionally overflow on the south side of the volcano. [1] It is notable for holding the longest-existing lava lake, present since at least 1906. [4] Volcanoes with lava lakes are rare: there were only eight in the world reported in 2019. [5]
Researchers at University of California Berkeley have obtained an exceptionally detailed map of the largest known lava lake in our solar system.. Located on Jupiter's moon Io, the lava lake known ...
A volcanogenic lake is a lake formed as a result of volcanic activity. [1] They are generally a body of water inside an inactive volcanic crater ( crater lakes ) but can also be large volumes of molten lava within an active volcanic crater ( lava lakes ) and waterbodies constrained by lava flows, pyroclastic flows or lahars in valley systems.

The depth of the lava lake varies considerably. A maximum elevation of the lava lake was recorded at about 3,250 m (10,660 ft) prior to the January 1977 eruption – a lake depth of about 600 m (2,000 ft). Following the January 2002 eruption, the lava lake was recorded at a low of about 2,600 m (8,500 ft), or 900 m (3,000 ft) below the rim. [3 ...
This volcano of Erta Ale is the most active in Ethiopia and rises to 613 m (2,011 ft) at its highest point. It is one of many shield volcanoes in the area and is 50 km (31 mi) wide with a 1.6 kilometres (1 mi) elliptical summit containing many steep pit craters.
