Korath Range

Korath Range

The Korath Range is a mountain range in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of southern Ethiopia. It consists of an isolated cluster of about 20 tuff cones, many of which produced long lava flows that are dominantly basanitic and tephritic in composition. The youngest lava flow, which issued from a cone in the middle of the range, has been radiocarbon dated at 7900 BP, although a more recent radiocarbon date of between 30,000 BP and 7900-9500 BP has also been obtained.
