Köppen climate type:
The complex consists of Corbetti caldera, which has 12 km diameter and younger volcanoes of Urji, which is located in the centre of the caldera, and Chabbi, which overlaps the eastern caldera margin (Di Paola 1972). The whole complex is about 20 km east-west.
There is intense fumarolic activity in one area of Chabbi and a large earthquake was recorded in 1960 the epicentre of which was beneath Chabbi (Mohr 1966).
