Apart from often being immensely scenic, landscapes tell stories which not uncommonly can be traced back in time for tens of millions years and include unique events. This is particularly true for Ethiopia where spectacular examples of landforms are present. Its geomorphology varies from highlands, punctuated by high volcanoes and dissected by deep river gorges, to the rift valley lakes endorheic systems and the below the sea level lowlands with landscapes the features of which are unique in the world. This book will illustrate all these issues and will include the necessary background about geology and tectonic framework, past and present climate, hydrology, geographical regions and long-term geomorphological history. The core of the book will consists of a succinct but comprehensive presentation of key geomorphological localities including also information about geomorphological heritage and maps to visit the most important sites.
