Scoria cones and lava flows of the Manda Gargori rift are seen across this December 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 9.5 km across).The rift is one of the younger segments in the Red Sea area and NW-SE trending faults are visible through the image. Ridges of older lava flows are visible between the lighter-colored sediment. A tuff ring is visible south of the younger lavas.
