This is an exceptionally clear nadir view of the junction of the southern Ethiopian rift and northern Turkana rift. About 400,000 cubic km of lavas have been erupted in the Ethiopian rift over the past 43 million years. Young, very black lava flows can be seen where the north-trending faults of the Turkana rift intersect the northeast-trending faults of the Ethiopian complex; abrupt doglegs in faults and drainages can also be seen. A rift intersection is commonly topographically low and may be marshy or contain a pond or lake such as Chew Bahir; the Afar depression (above) is a far larger example.
