I always wondered, after I have been to a lot of high points in the world, how would it feel to go to one of the lowest points in the world? Travelling trough the Danakil Dessert with an army patrol on your side all the time, it was very special. At that time in history, almost no tourist came to this place and rebels where spotted frequently. In fact after we left… the next group was attacked by them, 5 tourists and their guide were killed.
Anyway, you don’t feel a thing when going to an attitude of minus 166 metre below sea level. But you will see these very colorful sulfur lakes. It feels like you are on another planet. A very toxic planet!
