This is an excerpt from air photo 2012321-00238 taken during flight campaign ET12-17 by the Natural Environment Research Council‘s Airborne Research and Survey Facility in Ethiopia, in November 2012, as a part of a wider investigation of the behaviour and history of this volcano. If you want to see more images from this campaign, you can watch air photo montages of flights over Corbetti and Aluto volcanoes on YouTube.
