On the
hottest days
temperatures
in the Danakil
Depression soar
to more than
122°F (50°C).
Sulfur and mineral
salt give Danakil its
striking colors.

Depression in Ethiopia. Active volcanoes
sizzle inside this desert basin, and sulfur springs
emit choking gases. No wonder some have
called it the cruelest place on Earth.
