The Dubbi Volcano is a stratovolcano located in the Southern Red Sea Region of Eritrea. Its peak elevation is . There have been four known eruptions. In 1400 lava was determined to have reached the Red Sea while in 1861 ash was thrown over from the volcano.[2] [3] [4] [5] Two further events were suspected between 1861 and the 20th century.
On June 13, 2011 an ash cloud that had some influence on air travel was attributed to Dubbi.[6] However, more accurate satellite imagery later showed that Nabro was the volcano that had erupted.[7]
