Ardoukoba Volcano erupted in 1978 for one week after an earthquake created a 1.8 m fissure. This was the first eruption of Ardoukoba Volcano in 3000 years.

Two lava flows were erupted, 1 km to the SE, and 0.5 km to the NW. Ash emissions reached 300 m altitude and a crater 30 wide and 100 m high was formed. The Ardoukoba rift is 17 km wide and 800 m deep. The most recent flows are concentrated within the Inner Floor. Exposed rocks of the Ardoukoba Rift range from basalts to ferrobasalts with andesine basalts the most abundant group recognized.
