Dallol, located in the Danakil Depression in northeastern Ethiopia, is one of the most extraordinary and otherworldly landscapes on Earth. Known as the hottest inhabited place on the planet, with average temperatures exceeding 34°C (93°F), Dallol is a geothermal marvel featuring vibrant colors and extreme conditions. The area is filled with bubbling hot springs, sulfur deposits, salt flats, and acidic ponds, creating an alien-like environment with hues of yellow, green, orange, and white. The hydrothermal activity is a result of tectonic plate collisions and volcanic activity, forming surreal salt chimneys and crystalline structures. Dallol’s stark beauty and extreme environment make it a unique destination for adventurers and nature lovers.
