Ethiopian Highlands

The Ethiopian Highlands, often referred to as the "Roof of Africa," are a mountainous region located in Ethiopia. This area features high plateaus and rugged terrain, making it one of the highest regions in Africa. The highlands are significant for their unique biodiversity and cultural heritage, home to various ethnic groups and historical sites, including ancient churches and ruins. The region plays a crucial role in Ethiopia's agriculture and water supply, as it feeds many of the country's rivers. Its elevation also contributes to a unique climate, distinct from the surrounding lowland areas.
