In early 2025, Ethiopia's Mount Fentale, a stratovolcano located in the Afar Region, exhibited unusual volcanic activity, capturing the attention of scientists and local authorities. Notably, significant methane gas emissions and seismic unrest were observed, prompting investigations into the underlying causes and potential implications.
Mount Fentale is situated at the northern end of the Main Ethiopian Rift and is characterized by a composite volcanic structure, including a stratovolcano and a caldera. The volcano's summit reaches an elevation of 2,007 meters. Historically, Fentale has experienced infrequent eruptions, with the last known activity occurring in 1820 CE. The volcanic products primarily consist of rhyolitic obsidian lava flows, with minor tuffs and ash flows. The formation of the summit caldera is attributed to explosive eruptions that produced welded pantelleritic ash flows.
On January 31, 2025, satellite observations by GHGSat and the European Space Agency's Copernicus program detected substantial methane emissions from Mount Fentale. The volcano was releasing methane at a rate of approximately 58 metric tonnes per hour, totaling around 1,400 metric tonnes per day. This rate of methane emission is atypical for volcanic activity, as volcanoes predominantly emit gases like carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. The presence of significant methane suggests the possibility of magma movement deep underground opening gas deposits, rather than magma reaching the surface.
