As far as I am aware, there is not a single active volcano in Somalia.

Or, for that matter, an inactive one.

However, my knowledge of Somalian geology is zilch, apart from the above statement.

The souvenir sheet depicted below illustrates a hawaiian style eruption.

It may represent the current eruptive activity of Kilauea,

or perhaps one of the volcanoes of Ethiopia.
