Danakil Depression
This hot spring in Africa’s Danakil
Depression is surrounded by a yellow
crust of pure sulfur. The sunken region between Ethiopia and Eritrea in East Africa is a wild
volcanic area, packed with erupting craters, arid deserts, boiling mud, and pools with unusual
colours caused by the presence of sulfur and many mineral salts.170-171_Sulfur_DPS.indd 170 02/12/16 6:54 pm
