ERTA ALE VOLCANO - Part 1: The Largest Permanent Lava Lake on Earth, Ethiopia (Erupting Lava Lake)
ERTA ALE LAVA LAKE VOLCANO – Danakil Depression, Ethiopia
Hidden in the middle of Danakil Depression, Afar Region of Ethiopia – The Hottest Place in the World – stands 614 meters high volcano Erta Ale. What makes this volcano so extremely rare is Lava Lake hidden in the crater in the centre of volcano caldera.
Volcanoes with lava lakes are very rare: there are only six of them in the whole world. Erta Ale is the one which is permanently active during last 100 years.
Being to be by-product of Plate Tectonics of East Africa Erta Ale sits in Danakil Depression which is part of East African Rift – scar in Earth crust which is slowly tearing Africa apart. Three tectonic plates – Nubian Plate, Somalia Plate and Arabic Plate are moving apart in pace of 2.5 cm/year speed high enough to calculate that in 10 Million year Africa will loose its Horn of Africa which will become new continent in Indian Ocean.
As consequence of separation of the plates there is major depression/valley in North Part of Ethiopia’s Afar Region calls Afar Triangle. Earth crust is so thin in the area – which lays up to 150 below Sea level – that area is penetrated by number of volcanoes and is pronounced to major earthquakes.
Erta Ale – beside Nyiragongo in Democratic Republic of Congo – was for years high on my wish list of places which I have to visit. After 2012 my dream was shuttered and put on hold since number of tourists was killed on the edge of volcano as a result of long lasting dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea. However last year expeditions to Erta Ale resumed – this time under heavy military escorts - so I could realised my dream and visit Erta Ale in the end of 2015.
In usual case crater of Erta Ale Lava Lave has first terrace about 20 meters down in the crater and additional 20 meter down in the pit there is surface of Lava Lake. I was very fortunate to visit Erta Ale in one of its most active period in ages when level of the Lake was elevated all the way to the edge of the crater and was just less than 2 meters below level of overflow to the bottom of the Erta Ale caldera. Volcanic activities were enormous 24 hours every single day so there is no surprise that majority of my 3 days spend on Erta Ale were dedicated to observation of the lake.
Even everybody is aiming to see volcano in the night – since visual sensation is beside description – it is very difficult to make high quality pictures from night since contrast between darkness and hot lava boiling in up to 1,200 C is impossible to catch on camera. Day pictures are much more manageable.
Another advantage of Erta Ale is the fact that is located in Ethiopia where nobody will tell you what you can and can’t do by the volcano. So decision how close can I go to the volcano was resting entirely with me – and of course I went as closed as my camera could manage. Heat was unsustainable – but I would say picture and movies are quite OK.
First part of the movie “ERUPTING LAVA LAKE” was film mainly during the days and twilight, while second part “THE NIGHT SHOW” was filmed in the darkness. I hope you’ll enjoy both part as much as I enjoyed all 3 days on the top of this spectacular volcano!

Ethiopia's Extreme Salt Mines - Danakil Depression, Afar Desert
ETHIOPIA’S EXTREME SALT MINES – Danakil Depression, Afar Desert
There are caravans there – countless caravans. Passing through Ahmadila – little village where I’ve suffered from heat for three days! Only for three days!
But there are people in desert bound to the place since their living depends entirely on Ethiopian Gold which is called SALT.
Every single evening long caravans of camels were passing on their way from Salt Mines. Last day of our stay in Danakil Depression we went to see some of these Salt Mines. One have to drive long stretch across damn flat desert to come to salty Lake Assal which momentary changed gloomy atmosphere of empty desert to bright blinding glow. Then you have to go back to desert and drive even father North till Dallol where scattered across vast endless desert are working groups of Salt Miners.
I’ve arrived in Danakil Depression the middle of “winter” so daily temperatures were “only” in mid and high 40 C but in summer temperatures can go more than 10 degrees higher. For me it was beyond my understanding to work in this heat. Apparently in the summer even Salt Miners are working only to noon hours since afternoon is unbearable even for these tough guys. There is no special job requirements for working in Salt Mines beside to be tough, strong and healthy.
Couple of decades back salt was transported by camel caravans all the way to Makale some 200 km away. Now there is the road on the part of the stretch. However first distance of 50 something kilometers has to still be transported by camels so this ancient art of transportation is still used same as century ago – so occasional tourists crazy enough to undertake trip to this hottest place on planet Earth can make some memorable pictures and movies before running back to civilization leaving salt miners in this devilish place where your job security depends only on 3 conditions – you must be young, strong and healthy.
Everything is extreme in this part of the world – Weather, Environment, Living condition and mainly People who live there.
But Live in Danakil Depression is tough and I mean REALLY TOUGH! – Something what we in our sterile world have no slightest idea about.

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA - Sri Lankan food is known for crabs, and you’ll find some of the best mud crabs you’ll ever try in Sri Lanka. One of the top places to eat Sri Lankan crab curry is The Station, a seafood restaurant and bar along the ocean in Colombo. During out best of Sri Lankan food tour ( this was the first meal we had, and it was outstanding.
I met up with Uchith ( Nick ( and Lakki ( who showed me the restaurant and took me to the kitchen to watch as they made their entire family recipe for Sri Lankan crab curry, using huge 1.5 kg. Sri Lankan mud crabs. It was fascinating and a learning experiences to watch all the different steps and the complicated ingredients used in their recipe.
As I kept watching the Sri Lankan crab curry being made, I could hardly contain my excitement or mouth juices!
Our entire group came, and they started bringing out more dishes - not just the Sri Lankan crab curry, but river prawns fried in black pepper, and spiny lobster hollowed out and re-added to its shell. It was stunningly good. Along with Sri Lankan food, The Station also has a few of their own unique, Sri Lankan fusion seafood dishes, including favorites like hot butter squid.
Sri Lankan crab curry - we had one pan of their original Sri Lankan family recipe crab curry, and one pan of their extra spicy crab curry. Both were outstanding, but I loved the original for the spice blend and balance and how all the juices soaked up into the crab, it was outstanding.
The Sri Lankan food and crab curry was outstanding, the people, our entire group, and the owners of The Station are incredible people as well. Thank you to The Station, Nick, Uchitch and Lakki.
