The Dubbi Volcano is a
stratovolcano located in the
Southern Red Sea Region of
Eritrea. Its peak elevation is 1,625 m (5,331 ft). There have been four known eruptions. In 1400
lava was determined to have reached the
Red Sea while in 1861 ash was thrown over 250 km (160 mi) from the volcano.[2][3][4][5] Two further events were suspected between 1861 and the 20th century.
On June 13, 2011 an ash cloud that had some influence on air travel was attributed to Dubbi.[6] However, more accurate satellite imagery later showed that
Nabro was the volcano that had erupted.[7]
