The Korath Range is a mountain range in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of southern Ethiopia. It consists of an isolated cluster of about 20 tuff cones, many of which produced 5 km (3.1 mi) long lava flows that are dominantly basanitic and tephritic in composition. The youngest lava flow, which issued from a cone in the middle of the range, has been radiocarbon dated at 7900 BP, although a more recent radiocarbon date of between 30,000 BP and 7900-9500 BP has also been obtained.[1]

The Korath Range was emplaced along the Lake Turkana Rift, a segment of the East African Rift that extends north from Kenya.[1] Mount Nakwa is the highest point of the Korath Range with a summit elevation of 912 m (2,992 ft).
