but is nonetheless spectacular, full of eye-catching colors, as in the
sulphur springs. The desert has several points lying more than 100
meters (328 ft) below sea level. You pass through a small town of

boiling lava(Volcano). Erta Ale ranks one of the most alluring and
physically challenging natural attractions anywhere in Ethiopia. It is
