Emi Koussi is a high pyroclastic shieldvolcano that lies at the southeast end of the Tibesti Mountains in the central Sahara of northern Chad. It is the highest mountain in Chad, and the highest in the Sahara. The volcano is one of several in the Tibesti massif, and reaches 3,445 metres (11,302ft) in elevation, rising 2.3km (1.4mi) above the surrounding sandstone plains. The volcano is 60 by 80km wide.
Two nested calderas cap the volcano, the outer one being about 12 by 15km in size. Within it on the southeast side is a smaller caldera, about 2–3km wide and 350m deep. Numerous lava domes, cinder cones, maars, and lava flows are found both within the calderas and along the outer flanks of the shield. The inner caldera contains large natron deposits which see some harvesting for domestic animal salt lick use by the local people.
Emi Koussi has been studied as an analogue of the Martian volcano Elysium Mons. One of the most important morphological differences between volcanoes on Mars and Earth is the widespread furrowing of the surface due to flowing water on terrestrial volcanoes. The furrows are shallow valleys. Larger channels have a different origin. Major channels can be seen on volcanoes on both planets and indicate low points in caldera rims where lava spilled out of pre-collapse craters.
The Active Volcano in the Sahara; Emi Koussi in Chad
Within the vast desert of the Sahara is something which few people know about, volcanoes. The Saharan desert contains more than a dozen active volcanoes, of which the most impressive feature is called Emi Koussi. This 11,000 foot tall volcano is located in the nation of Chad, and has been the site of several massive caldera forming eruptions. As such, this unusual volcano will erupt again. This video covers the recent eruptions from this volcano, and states the general hazard which it poses in the future.

Exploring North West Tschad. Tibesti Mountains. Emi Koussi.
Fifteen days. In 10 Minutes,
800 km trip through the northwest of Chad. 650 km with 3 LandCruisers. We crossed the Emi Koussi, the highest mountain in the Sahara (4315 m ),150 km with Toubu Nomades and their Camels. 10 Camels, 7 Tubus, Cook and Tourboss from the Agency, 9 Europeans. 18 people and their camels.
We met brave nomades, a formidable Team, Storms, Coldness and Heat, endless horizons. The badest roads on the globe, Long Walks. Sandstorms. Dunes, Mountains, Fountains and Silence. It didn't rain for two years....
Wild Land. Strong People. Great Experience.

The Ennedi massif: Sahara's hidden eden I SLICE
Ingaï guides us through northern Chad, looking for the famous oases hidden in the Ennedi massif. This Bideyat nomad knows a lot of stories about this place, that he transmits to his grandson during their adventure. In the end, they hope to find this paradise land that remained unknown for long, because this oasis is hardly accessible.

Emi Koussi (Chad) Aerial Flyover
Emi Koussi in Chad is presented in this virtual aerial flyover video.
Emi Koussi (also known as Emi Koussou) is a high pyroclastic shield[2] volcano that lies at the southeast end of the Tibesti Mountains in the central Sahara, in the northern Borkou Region of northern Chad. The highest mountain of the Sahara, the volcano is one of several in the Tibesti range, and reaches an elevation of 3,415 meters (11,204 ft), rising 3 km (1.9 mi) above the surrounding sandstone plains. The volcano is 60–70 kilometers (37–43 mi) wide and has a volume of 2,500 cubic kilometers (600 cu mi). (Wikipedia)

Tibesti - Research on the roof of the Sahara desert
Die von Dr. Stefan Kröpelin geleitete Expedition in das höchste Gebirge der Sahara, das Tibesti, konnte während der vierwöchigen Forschungsarbeiten geologische Proben aus den Vulkankratern des Trou au Natron und des Emi Koussi sichern. Es gelang, mehrere Meter lange Schnitte aus Sedimentablagerungen zu beproben, anhand derer man die vergangenen Klimaepochen der Sahara bestimmen kann. Gleichzeitig wurden archäologische, botanische und zoologische Kartierungen mit interessanten ersten Ergebnissen durchgeführt. Die Erkundung wurde im Rahmen des Sonderforschungsbereichs 806 „Our Way to Europe“ durchgeführt, der die Umweltbedingungen während der Migration des Homo sapiens von Afrika nach Europa erforschen soll. Mit der Ersterkundung wurde die Basis für weitere Forschungen im Norden des Tschad g...

The Highly Explosive Shield Volcanoes; Pyroclastic Shields
Within Africa is a shield volcano that is slightly larger than the U.S. state of Rhode Island. Yet, it does not erupt effusively but primarily explosively. The Emi Koussi volcano is no ordinary shield volcano but rather a pyroclastic shield volcano. Pyroclastic shields are a fairly rare variety of shield volcano found at assorted locations around the planet. #short #shorts #volcano #volcanoes
