First you drive on salt for an hour and then these sulfur mines. Special smell!

The Danakil Depression in northern Ethiopia is one of the special geological regions with hot springs, sulfur springs, acid lakes and burning hot steam columns. The vibrant colors of the landscape here may be visually impressive, but they are also traces of the continental rift process, according to IFL Science. The Earth's crust is not a uniform thick layer of soil across the planet. In places like the Danakil Depression, the effects of continental spreading can be seen in vivid colors. Tectonic plates move apart, forming landscapes such as the Danakil Alps and the Ethiopian plateau. The rugged terrain and scorching heat have earned the area the nickname "Hell's Gate," but locals have mined salt here by hand for centuries. This is a stratovolcano, consisting of many layers of lava and ash. The most prominent feature of the Danakil Depression is the Dallol sulfur springs. Located at the foot of Dallol volcano, the dry salt flats are dotted with streams and craters of green, orange and neon yellow. That's a result of the unique topography, which causes salt water to mix with volcanic minerals including sulfur, iron and copper. Despite the chlorine and sulfur-rich environment, in 2017, researchers discovered that life could grow in the water at Dallol. They found evidence of bacteria living in water that can withstand heat, salinity and acidity at the same time.
