In Ethiopia’s Danakil Depression, a small group of Danakil nomads holds
a council under a rock. One of the men holds a goat by a rope.
The Danakil Depression, part
of the Great Rift Valley, is the world’s hottest region. It’s an inferno of
active volcanoes, black lava fields as far as the eyes can see, vast salt lakes,
and sulfur sources whose oxidation from yellow to green and brown are among
this phenomenon’s few colors. And yet, it is of gripping beauty.
