The Northern Lake Abaya volcanic field consists primarily of small Quaternary cones and basaltic lava flows between Doguna volcano to the north, Chericha to the E, Lake Abaya to the south, and the Hobitcha caldera to the west. The 3.5-km-long rhyolitic dome area immediately SE of the Hobitcha caldera trachytic ridge includes recent obsidian flows from vents at Hako and Salewa Dore (Corti et al., 2013).
