The Manda Hararo is a 105 km × 30 km volcanic complex in Ethiopia . It is located in the south of the Afar area in the Kalo plain and southeast of the Dabbahu .
Most recently, high activity in the area was noted in mid-2009. Among other things, this was associated with the emission of sulfur dioxide and lava .

At the northern end of the complex is a small basaltic shield volcano . To the south of this volcano there is a large area covered by cracks in the ground and lava flows. Two other shield volcanoes, the larger of which is called Unda Hararo , are in the center of the complex. Even further to the south is the Gumatmali-Gablaytu area, which is characterized by numerous soil cracks that are oriented to the northwest. South of this area you can find lava flows and solidified lava lakes . The southeast end of the complex is formed by the Gablaytu Shield Volcano .
