The Ethiopian Highlands are a rugged mass of mountains in Ethiopia and Eritrea in northeastern Africa . The Ethiopian Highlands form the largest continuous area of its altitude in the whole continent, with little of its surface falling below 1500 m (5000 ft), while the summits reach heights of 4600 m to 4900 m (15,000 to 16,000 ft). The highlands are divided into northwestern and southeastern portions by the Great Rift Valley , which contains a number of salt lakes. Lake Tana , the source of the Blue Nile , lies in the northwestern portion. |
