Ethiopia, Danakil Depression, Caravan for the Transportation of Salt Mined in the Karum Salt Marshes

2018-Ethiopia


This album is dedicated to traveling to Ethiopia in October 2018 with a group of friends. From Addis Ababa to Mekele, we flew by plane, and then moved on jeeps, on camels and on foot through the Danakil Depression with the Dallol and Erta Ale volcanoes. Then moving by minibus we visited the National Park of the Simien Mountains, and also Lalibela - the cradle of Ethiopian Christianity, and Gondar …  (read more)

Dallol is an active volcanic crater in the Danakil Depression, Ethiopia. The volcano is known for its extraterrestrial landscapes resembling the surface of Io, the satellite of the planet Jupiter. Its composition is lava from sulfur and andesite. In 1926, with a strong explosion, a large lake was formed, located at an altitude of 48 meters below sea level. The lake color is purple-yellow. Lake and salt terraces formed by washing out potash salts, manganese, iron on the surface

The Danakil Depression is the hottest place on Earth. It is also one of the lowest places on the planet (100 m below sea level), and without rain for most of the year.Additionally, the area contains the sulfur hot springs. These wet environments at the Danakil Depression are being investigated to help understand how life might arise on other planets and moons. Any microorganisms living here will be extremophilic microbes of a major interest to astrobiologists.
