4. Deriba Crater Lake – Sudan
The Deriba Crater, with an elevation of 3042 m, is the highest point of Jebel Marra, located in Darfur in the west of Sudan. The lake is formed in a caldera. The outside crater has a diameter varying from 5km to 8 km. The Deriba Caldera was formed as a result of an explosive eruption of the Jebel Marra Volcano, which took place approximately 3500 years ago. The volcano now lies in a dormant state.
