Pic Toussidé

Pic Toussidé rises 3,315 meters above sea level, forming a symmetrical cone with an extensive base measuring 8 by 9 kilometers in the Tibesti Mountains.

The volcano experienced intense eruptions throughout geological history, depositing dark tephra and creating multiple calderas that shape the current volcanic landscape.

The Tibesti mountain range contains numerous geological formations that scientists study to understand the development of volcanic activity in northern Africa.

Access to Pic Toussidé requires extensive preparation due to its remote location, and visitors should coordinate with local authorities for necessary permits.

Active fumaroles at the summit emit water vapor at temperatures between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius, indicating ongoing volcanic processes beneath the surface.
