Places:
Danakil 2003
Danakil is in the Afar region of Eastern Ethiopia. It is
about 130M below sea level and the hottest place on earth (mean temperature).
There is a salt lake and the whole area is geologically active. The local Afar
people mine the salt at the lake and bring it by camel to Mekele for sale. We
went there after a lot of planning in November 2003.
