Night view of Erta Ale's summit crater would show a thin crust of cooled lava punctuated by glowing red fissures where molten lava bubbles up, spills, and splatters, as seen in video of its active lava lake. The ongoing activity is due to a convecting magma system beneath the surface, making it one of the world's few permanently active lava lakes. _____________ #ErtaAle #Ethiopia #VolcanoNews #DanakilDepression #VolcanoDiscovery #volcanoesandvolcanism @highlight | Babi-jinka Haile
