Four days tour to danakill depression and Arta’ela volcano Ethiopia
What you will visit at Danakill Depression and Arta’ela Volcano
Dallol (Danakill dipression one of among the lowest point on Earth)
which is a step away from the flat salt ground, is by far the most stimulating site ever seen? The marvel, about 200 Km far of mekelle, is 3000 hectare wide and 123 meters below sea level. Made up of potash, sulfur and other valuable minerals, pours water that smokes. The color of the ground sprinkles and the smoke jointly discharges a vibrant image, a rare incident ever to encounter.
Arte-ale (an often steaming active volcano)
Erta Ale is 613 metres (2,011 ft) high, with one or sometimes two active lava lakes at the summit which occasionally overflow on the south side of the volcano. It is notable for being the longest-existing lava lake, present since the early years of the twentieth century (1906). Volcanoes with lava lakes are very rare.
Erta Ale means "smoking mountain" in the local Afar language and its southernmost pit is known locally as "the gateway to Hell". Erta Ale is centered over the east African rift system which is a triple junction setting that is resulting in the formation of a pull apart basin or rift. The volcano comprises mainly Mafic material which has been brought up to the surface caused by unroofing of the mantle due to the formation of the pull-apart basin.
All the way to Dallol and farther afield (Arte-ale), is escorted with various astonishing sceneries. An act of venturing to Dallol and beyond surprises, which altogether enables one together a lot of unlikely experiences, thus arouses a sense of sole hero.
