Africa's magical volcanic landforms: Why is nothing growing except colorful?

There are not many tourists coming from afar to Ethiopia to see volcanoes. Even today, few people in the world know the existence of this long-term active volcano. But when it comes to the gates of hell, you may have some impressions. Altare volcano is the oldest volcanic lava lake in the world, which has been active in Africa for more than 40 years. This active volcano in the center of Danakil Depression looks more like a lake that has been burning for hundreds of years to tourists, which is very magical. But in the eyes of local residents, volcanoes are more like demons that devour human and animal lives.

Due to the turmoil in Ethiopia, Mount Hetare is located alone in Africa. It was not until later that the Altair volcano was able to shine on the stage with TV documentaries and works contributed by countless unknown photographers. Altare volcano is still marked with danger signals because there are no protective measures. Several tourists fell into the volcano and died because of taking pictures. It is said that one of them is a Japanese tourist. But what is more dangerous is that the news of regional conflicts and kidnappings in the early years may be precisely because of these events, which makes the image of the Hellgate of Mount Hetare more real. Many tourists from China venture here.

Along with the danger is the famous Dalol, which is a colorful landscape formed by volcanoes. At first, many tourists were robbed. But compared with the attraction of this magical landscape, people are more willing to gamble. Of course, these two places are basically stable today. When you come to Lor, if you don't consider the temperature and gas that make you uncomfortable, then you will find the colorful salt pond in front of you very beautiful.

If you decide to use it as a salt pond like the city of the sky and step into the water to take pictures, unfortunately, you may get burned. These beautiful ponds are poisonous. If you look carefully, you will find many bodies near the water. These bodies basically flew over the attracted birds and died of accidental poisoning. Some people describe Dallol as a beautiful pot of oil in hell, so many people go to Dallol carefully. They usually take some designated routes, otherwise they will step into hot water carelessly. In this land, the pungent smell and suffocating temperature of sulfur can give people a very shocking vision, which is very strange.
