"**NOTE FOR INSPECTOR**: There is lot´s of sand in the air, so most of the grain is really sand of the coming sandstorm!A sandstorm at Ass Ale salt lake in the Dankali-Desert of Ethiopia, in the background a car could be seen.The Danakil Desert (or Danakil Depression) in the border-triangle between Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti is one of the most remote and most extreme regions of the world - it is the lowest point in Africa (- 155 metres/-550 ft below sea level) and one of the hottest places on Earth. The Danakil/Afar Depression is the product of a tectonic triple junction, where the spreading ridges that form the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden emerge on land and meet the East African Rift. Here the Earth's crust is slowly rifting apart at a rate of 1–2 centimetres (0.3–0.8 in) per year.About 1200 km² (463 sq mi) of the Afar Depression is covered by salt, and salt mining is still a major source of income for many Afar tribes - the largest salt lake is called Ass Ale, it is near the Dallol vulcano.See more of my pictures of the Danakil/Afar-Depression:"
