Background

The Kyatwa volcanic field, also known as the Ndale volcanic field, occupies the Western Rift Valley, north of the equator and east of the Ruwenzori Mountains about halfway between Lake Edward and Lake Albert. The Kyatwa tuff cones and lake-filled maars are part of a group of Pleistocene-to-Recent volcanic fields in western Uganda.
