East African Rift
The East African Rift is a fascinating geological feature, with the microplate around Lake Victoria rotating counterclockwise and pulling apart at a rate of 7 millimeters per year. This rift is home to the Danakil Depression, one of the hottest and driest places on Earth, where temperatures soar to 50 degrees Celsius. Notably, the Erta Alle volcano offers a unique experience with its open pool of lava, while the area also boasts an ancient salt harvesting industry.In this clip
