Geothermal hot spring vents, Ethiopia C016 / 9679
Geothermal hot spring vents. Small mineral-encrusted vents at the hot springs at Dallol in the Danakil depression of northern Ethiopia. This area is about half a metre across. The minerals form as hot water and gases are released from underground volcanic areas

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing geothermal hot spring vents found in Ethiopia's Danakil depression. The image, captured from above by Dr. Juerg Alean, offers a unique perspective on these small mineral-encrusted vents that dot the landscape. Located in the heart of Africa, this geological wonder is a testament to the raw power and beauty of our planet. The half-meter-wide area is teeming with vibrant minerals that have formed as hot water and gases are released from underground volcanic areas. The intricate details visible in this photograph highlight the rich diversity of Earth's natural formations. From sulphur deposits to mineral encrustations, every element tells a story about our planet's complex history. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring view, we are reminded of the forces at play beneath our feet. Volcanic activity shapes landscapes and creates environments like these geothermal hot springs which serve as windows into Earth's inner workings. This image not only captures the essence of Ethiopian geography but also serves as an invaluable resource for earth scientists studying volcanology and geology. It provides a glimpse into one of nature's most fascinating phenomena - volcanic venting - within the context of Ethiopia's rift valley and Afar depression. Dr. Juerg Alean has masterfully immortalized this moment in time through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the scientific significance and sheer beauty present within Ethiopia's Dallol region.
