Bahaya Mountain

Mount Bahaya (Somali language: Buurta Baxaya, occasionally written Mount Bahaja) is Somalia's fourth-tallest mountain. With a summit elevation of about 2,100 meters, it is the country's only Ultra-prominent peak (6,900 ft). It is 60 kilometers (37 miles) east of Bosaso, near the Red Sea, in the northern Bari region.

It is an Ultra-prominent mountain with a prominence of 1,543 to 1,613 meters, making it Africa's 74th to 58th most prominent peak and the only definite one in Somalia. Mount Shimbiris, with a measured prominence of 1,495 meters, could also be an Ultra-prominent mountain (4,905 ft). Because the mountain is extended in a northwest-southeast direction, some people call the southern and northern ends Bahaya and Karkoor.

Mount Bahaya is the highest point in Somalia's Fadhisame Mountains, which are located in northeastern Somalia. The range is a tiny part of the larger Cal Miskaad Mountains, which run from Karin, Bari, to the Socotra Archipelago, defining the northern Horn of Africa in much of Somalia. The surrounding range, including Bahaya, is primarily made up of highly eroded relics of an ancient volcanic chain.
