nubbsgalore:the alien like landscape of the ethiopian dallol hydrothermal field - a vast area of uplifted thick salt deposits affected by intense fumarolic activity - is famous for being the only known volcanic area bellow sea level and for being both the hottest place on the planet - with average annual temperatures well above 30 degrees celsius - and the most colourful, with its pools of a hot sulfuric acid brine and ferrous multicolored salt deposits. photos by (click pic) dionys moser, pascal boegli and mario tellerini -- source link
