About this

Mount Karthala is an active shield volcano and the highest point in the Comoros, rising to 2,361 meters on the island of Grande Comore. Its broad summit caldera measures roughly three kilometers across and has been the site of multiple eruptions in recent decades. The mountain’s upper slopes consist of barren lava fields, while lower elevations support dense forest cover. Access typically involves multi-day treks from nearby villages, with routes passing through changing vegetation zones and offering views of the surrounding Indian Ocean.
