The Danakil Depression represents the northern section of the Afar Triangle, also known as the Afar Depression, located in Ethiopia. This geological lowland is a result of the separation of three tectonic plates in the African region known as the Horn of Africa.
Erta Ale - We start our day by driving to Erta Ale (which means smoky mountain in Afar language). Erta Ale ranks one of the most alluring and physically challenging natural attractions anywhere in Ethiopia. It is a shield volcano with a base diameter of 30 km and 1km square caldera at its summit. Erta Ale contains the world’s only permanent lava lake. It is 613 meters, with a lava lake, one of only five in the world, at the summit. It is notable for being the longest existing lava lake, present since the early years of the twentieth century. (may not be as active as before and activity at flank eruption slows down.)
