Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Ayelu
Ayelu is the westernmost and older of two volcanoes at the southern end of the Danakil depression. The vegetated volcano is cut by prominent regional faults. Hot springs occur on its W flank. Extensive young basaltic lava flows cover the flanks of Adwa volcano and overlap a sedimentary plain to the SE. Photo by Giday Wolde-Gabriel (Los Alamos National Laboratory).

Ayelu is a vegetated rhyolitic stratovolcano, located south of the Asbahri plain in the southern Afar region. On its eastern side, 2145-m-high Ayelu is cut by regional faults and is overlain by ignimbrites erupted from Adwa volcano immediately to the east. It was constructed by a series of thick rhyolitic lava flows, creating a higher and steeper-sided volcano than Adwa. Hot springs are located on the western flank.
