Mount Ayalu, Stratovolcano in Great Rift Valley, Ethiopia.
Mount Ayalu rises to 2145 meters above sea level, displaying steep slopes formed by multiple layers of hardened rhyolitic volcanic materials.
Explorer Wilfred Thesiger documented the first recorded climbing expedition to Mount Ayalu during his Ethiopian journey in 1933.
The Afar people conducted regular pilgrimages to the mountain summit from Daoe and Aussa to request favorable outcomes in health and warfare.
The volcano stands near the eastern bank of the Awash River in Administrative Zone 3 of the Afar Region, at coordinates 10.0842273°N, 40.7028901°E.
A magma intrusion extending 8 kilometers in length and 5 kilometers deep emerged from Mount Ayalu toward Adwa in May 2000.
