How to spot Ethiopia from satellite imagery
The Ethiopian Highlands form elevated terrain beside much lower, drier land in the northeast. The Rift cuts through the region and includes a chain of lakes farther south. Closely spaced valleys and ridges in the highlands contrast with the broad lowlands to the east.
Compare the highlands around Lake Tana with the Afar lowlands. Look at changes in relief as well as colour.
