Danakil Depression

A dry and desert region known as “the devil’s land” for being one of the most inhospitable and hottest places in the world, the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia’s Afar region offers a wonderful sight that resembles scenes from a science fiction movie. Several of its areas extend more than 100 meters below sea level and are dominated by still active volcanoes, salt lakes, lunar landscapes, endless plains of salt, bizarre rock formations.
