About

Mount Zuqualla (also spelled Cuqqaalaa, Zikwala or Chuqqaala) is an extinct volcano in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Situated in Ada'a Chukala woreda of the East Shewa Zone, it rises from the plain 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Bishoftu. With a height of 3,010 metres (9,875 ft), it is known for its crater lake, lake Dembel, an elliptical crater lake with a maximum diameter of about one kilometre, but the trail around the crater is about 6 km long.
