The Kurub is a small shield volcano from the Holocene in Ethiopia in the Saha plain southeast of the Manda Hararos . It is also known under the names Kurub Koma , Curub or Kurub Koba . Its eastern lava flow has been dated to around 300,000 years using the potassium-argon method . The main crater is filled with sand by winds. The area around the Kurub is traversed by NNW-oriented crevices . Fumarolic activity was observed in the 1930s . It is also located in the so-called Tendaho field.
