In one of the hottest places on Earth where temperatures can reach highs of fifty degrees Celsius, the Danakil Depression is one of the least hospitable places on earth. A region famous for its active volcanoes, it is inhabited by the Afar people, an ethnic group who engage in salt mining. After cutting the salt into manageable blocks they are strapped to the camels for the long journey to market. The salt is so important to the survival of the Afar traders, they call it, White Gold. The Danakil Depression, Ethiopia, East Africa.
