Mount Abuna Yosef

Abuna Yosef (Amharic: አቡነ ዮሴፍ) is a prominent mountain in the Lasta massif of the Ethiopian Highlands.

The Abuna Yosef massif is home to Ethiopian wolves, Gelada baboons,[3] Erica arborea, Lobelia and other afro-alpine vegetation.

[5] At the eastern part of the mountain range, the town of Wandatch (on the Kobo - Lalibela road) is the main entry point to the Abuna Yosef afro-alpine massif.

The towns of Muja, Kulmesq and Lalibela are located on the footslopes of the massif.

However, due to the dry season also being during the months where temperature fall below freezing this causes a lack of snow on the mountain even though it occurs multiple times yearly.
