A volcanic range located along the northern of the axis of the Afar (or Danakil) Depression, which is characterized by numerous NNW-trending normal faults and tensional features associated with active volcanism (Barberi & Varet 1970).
The range contains seven volcanoes and occupies an area of about 95 x 40 km, is about 80 km long, and is built principally of the products of eruptions from fissures.

There are active lava lakes.

Approx coords range: 13º19' - 14º02'N; 40º20' - 40º55'E.
