Afdera is an isolated stratovolcano in northeastern Ethiopia, located at the intersection of three fault systems between the Erta Ale, Tat Ali, and Alayta mountain ranges.[1]
The volcano erupted lava from its western flanks June 1907. The flow was about five metres thick and was accompanied by seismic phenomena.[2]
