Ethiopian Highlands
The Ethiopian Highlands are a rugged mass of mountains in Ethiopia and Eritrea in northeastern Africa. The Ethiopian Highlands form the largest continuous area of its altitude in the whole continent, with little of its surface falling below 1500 m (5000 ft), while the summits reach heights of 4600 m to 4900 m (15,000 to 16,000 ft). The highlands are divided into northwestern and southeastern portions by the Great Rift Valley, which contains a number of salt lakes. The northwestern portion contains Lake Tana, the origin of the Blue Nile.
