Out-of-this-world colorful landscapes of Ethiopia

Both the highest lands of Africa and the lowest point of the continent situated under sea level are in Ethiopia. The Danakil Depression situated under sea level is a surreal landscape rich in geothermal features. It is one of the geologically most active areas on the planet and has some of the most awe-inspiring and surreal landscapes made of salt, geysers, springs and fumaroles, and the Great Salt Lake where salt mining and trading has been going on with camel caravans.
