Danakil Depression Tours take travelers to one of the most extreme and otherworldly landscapes on Earth. Located in northeastern Ethiopia, the Danakil Depression is one of the hottest, lowest, and most geologically active places in the world. This unique region lies below sea level and is part of the Afar Triangle, where three tectonic plates meet.
