Visit The Danakil Depression

What it is

The Danakil Depression is one of the hottest and lowest places on Earth, with acid pools, salt flats and the lava lake of Erta Ale.

How to do it

Join an organised tour from Mekele; independent travel isn't possible and an escort is required.

Top tip

Check UK Foreign Office advice for the Afar region before booking.

My experience

Ticked off, but the full story is still to be written up.
