The Danakil Desert lies in a depression – 120 meters below sea level – on the border of Ethiopia and Eritrea, so temperatures reach a deadly 60°C. There's no water here, but volcanoes spew smoke and lava. Earthquakes are frequent here, as befits one of the most seismic places on the planet. Add to that the hot springs, geysers, sulfur deposits, and salt fields. Although the conditions aren't exactly inviting, the Danakil Desert is home to the Afar, a tribe that should be offering survival course

🔥 Venture to the Edge of the Earth — The Danakil Depression, Ethiopia 🔥 Step into one of the planet’s most extreme environments — a place where lava lakes bubble, salt caravans cross endless desert, and colours defy imagination. The Danakil Depression is a land of fire and salt, adventure and awe — the hottest, lowest, and most surreal place on Earth. Trek up Erta Ale Volcano to witness a glowing lava lake at night, camp under alien desert skies, and explore the vivid, otherworldly landscapes

A volcano quiet for over 12,000 years has erupted again. Hayli Gubbi, a shield volcano in Ethiopia’s Afar Region, produced an ash plume rising to 14 km on 23 November 2025. Satellite data also detected a large release of SO₂ into the atmosphere. Nearby impacts included ashfall in villages such as Afdera, temporary disruptions for herders and grazing lands, and stranded tourists in the Danakil Desert. No casualties have been reported.
