    Wonderful place! What a nature! And this people who still hard working to keep know the local tradition of mining the salt from Dankil Depression salt platoue. It's really bad that this place is not protected as a natural park.

    Remote and fantastic once in a lifetime trip. Extremely hot, especially June - September. Fantastic topography and crystal encrusted springs. Can be combined with visit to Erte Ale volcano and lava lake. With driver, guide and fees very expensive, and accomodation and good is basic.

    One of the most hellish places on Earth, Ethiopia's one and only Danakil Depression is the most volcanic region in continental Africa. However, the sights are amazing, and seeing such a rare volcanic landscape like this is worth it.

    Melting volcano and salt and sulphur planes. There are not many more spectacular places on the Earth. Getting there takes two days by jeeps through sandy desert (and back as well).

    Beautiful, exotic place. Interesting geological formations can be seen here - a salt lake, a bubbling sulphuric region, a Mars-like terrain, and active volcanoes can all be seen in this region. It is considered to be a bit more dangerous, so have scouts if possible, although there hasn't been any incidences since 2012 and many tourists go every day.
