Easy route to the Ardokobba Vulcans with a good stop to break for lunch or a quick swims in the middle of Volcanic rocks
Ardoukôba is a fissure vents volcano in Djibouti.Located on the coast 100 kilometers (62 mi) from Djibouti City, its summit is situated at 298 metres (978 ft) above sea level. It last erupted in November 1978 following an earthquake, the area having been dormant for 3,000 years. The volcano's rift is 17 kilometers (11 mi) in width, and has a depth of 800 metres (2,600 ft).
Culminating at an altitude of 298 meters, the Ardoukôba is a volcano born from a volcanic fissure and composed of a pile of basaltic slag forming three cones emitting two flows of fluid basaltic lava. These eruptive characteristics classify the Ardoukôba among the red volcanoes fed by a rift magma.
