DALLOL VOLCANO – Afar Region Close to Eritrean border
The term Dallol was coined by the Afar people and means dissolution or disintegration, describing a landscape of green acid ponds (pH-values less than 1) and iron oxide, sulfur and salt desert plains. (WIKI)
In fact this volcano last erupted in 2011. So still very active. Very visible with the sulfur gasses. This is kind of the view, I think, of how earth used to look like before creatures existed. A bare, inhospitable place. with a moon like surface.
It is a fantastic site. A mosaic of yellow-green brown and white. And an ever-present smell of old eggs. According to some, this is the lowest active volcano on earth. It is both beautiful and dangerous. Please be careful where you walk, dipping your feet in acid is not ideal.
I do agree with all the ideas you’ve introduced on your post.
They are very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are
very quick for beginners. Could you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time?
Thank you for the post.
