Ethiopia's Danakil, Or Life At Its Harshest

 Ethiopia’s Danakil nomads build their huts on the Danakil Depressions lava fields, leaving what little grass-producing sand is available to their camels and goats.  No region on earth is hotter than theirs, and the lava does all it can to keep it so.

Les nomades Danakil d’Ethiopie montent leurs huttes sur les champs de lave de la dépression Danakil pour laisser à leurs chameaux et chèvres les petites étendues de sable ou pousse un peu d’herbe. Aucune région au monde est plus chaude que la leur et la lave fait tout ce qu’elle peut pour quecela reste ainsi.
