Halliday, A. N., Dickin, A. P., Fallick, A. E., & Fitton, J. G. (1988). Mantle dynamics: a Nd, Sr, Pb and O isotopic study of the Cameroon line volcanic chain. Journal of Petrology, 29(1), 181-211. doi.org/10.1093/petrology/29.1.181
Köppen climate type:


The area to the east and to a lesser extent the west from the town of Ngaoundere comprises an extensive plateau of basaltic lavas. The earliest flows were erupted into 2 broad valleys eroded into the Precambrian basement after which continued eruption built up the lava plateau (Fitton 1987).

Approx coords range: 6º43' - 7º39'N; 13º13' - 14º41'E
