Visit The Danakil Depression
Ticked off
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.
