Imagine stepping onto a landscape that looks like it belongs on another planet. Dallol Volcano in Ethiopia's Danakil Depression is one of the hottest, most extreme environments on Earth, boasting neon-green acid pools, yellow sulfur mounds, and otherworldly salt formations. The intense geothermal activity here creates brightly colored mineral deposits, boiling springs, and even acid lakes. The landscape is constantly shifting due to volcanic gases and tectonic activity, making it one of the most inhospitable yet visually stunning places on the planet. With its unearthly hues of yellow, green, and orange, Dallol is often compared to Jupiter’s moon Io.
