To the east of this Gablaytu volcano, other small volcanic units are observed in the Saha plain. The main outcrop constitutes the Ayrobbada subaqueous basaltic lava field, which is surrounded by several hyaloclastite cones. Three of them are aligned along a NNW fissure, including the spectacular ash ring to the north, where several craters are embedded, including later subaerial craters and basaltic flow (Fig. 6.99), and another two of decreasing size towards the south. These subaqueous eruptive centres are aligned with subaerial scoria cones along the same emissive fissure.
