Enter a world of fire, salt, and molten earth.
The Danakil Depression is one of the hottest, lowest, and most surreal landscapes on the planet. Neon sulfur fields bubble from the ground, endless salt flats shimmer under the sun, and lava glows against the night sky at Erta Ale volcano.
This is not a typical sightseeing tour.
It’s a raw expedition into the geological heart of Africa.
