A salt lake on the Ethiopian border surrounded by fields of limestone chimneys up to 50 meters tall, venting steam across an otherworldly plain. Flamingos feed in the shallows while Afar herders move goats between the spires. Overnight stays in nomad-style camps let visitors catch the formations at sunrise.
