The Yangudi even Langudi called, is a complex rhyolitic stratovolcano in Ethiopia . It lies in the Addado Trench in the northern part of the great African rift valley . There is an elliptical caldera at the top . From here, lava flows extend on the southern and northern flanks of the volcano. Younger lava flows and cones are along the eastern course of the rift.
