This Is Why We Can't Throw All Our Trash Into Volcanoes.

Incineration of organic waste in Erta Ale Volcanoes lava lake as simulation of what would happen if a person would fall into the lava lake (since both are organic and contain water and would thus be expected to trigger similar response).

It is frequently discussed whether it is possible to sink in lava. Due to its high density, a person would generally be expected to remain on the surface. Indeed it is possible to briefly walk on certain types of lava if professional heat-protective clothing is worn (do not try yourself).

However, the video shows that falling from a height, a large object and thus also a person would be able to penetrate the crust of the lake and submerge in it. The test was performed with a box of camp waste (largely food rests) in a cardboard box. Estimated weight 30kg, Size 60x60x60cm. Fall height, about 80m. The lake reacts with violent lava fountaining activity, presumably in part due to steam produced from the organic matter.

The lava lake at Erta Ale has persisted for many years and contains relatively fluid basaltic lava. Only few volcanoes have such lakes.

Erte Ale 🌋

This will go down as one of my top 5 favorite photoshoots of all time. For ZAAF’s latest campaign, our team of eleven selected from across the African continent and I ventured forth to the Danakil Depression, the hottest place on earth. We were determined to go to whatever extreme necessary to showcase to the world this rich and unique landscape in the heart of Ethiopia. On Monday, July 1, 2019, from 6pm - 8:30pm, we are premiering the full series as an exhibition at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington, DC. In addition, we will be premiering the full documentary video about creating the photographs in the Afar Desert, Ethiopia. To RSVP, please e-mail [email protected] See you there!

SHIELD VOLCANO🌋

ERTA ALE in ETHIOPIA

It's a continuous active basaltic shield volcano in the afar region of northeastern Ethiopia. Erata ale is the most active volcano in Ethiopia. Elevation-613m (2011ft)

Last eruption - 2005 to 2019 (ongoing)

Last November, my friend and I traveled all over Ethiopia. I always have been fascinated by human history and Ethiopia is probably one of the best location on earth regarding history of humanity.  During this trip, I realized how unbelievable this land is. This film, this story is not only about an old man telling his life but this is the story of a whole nation. Across unbelievable landscapes such as active Erta Ale volcano, Danakil salt desert, Dalole sulfure springs, blue Nil waterfalls we met the kindest people I've ever met such as Hamer, Mursi and Dorze tribes.

• enterdanement One of the highlights of my year, so far: looking down the crater to check out a LAKE OF LAVA on the summit of the Erta Ale volcano 🌋 in NE Ethiopia. It only takes a couple of days to reach by jeep, through the one of the most inhospitable and hottest places on earth... The Danakil Depression. After dinner at basecamp, it's time for a three hour sweaty hike, in the dark, near the border of Eritrea (whom Ethiopia was at war with back in January). Not much time to admire the view, as we had to get back down before the scorching sun rose. Worth it! ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ #afrika#ethiopia#danakil#ertaale#erta#ale#volcano#danakildepression#bestoftheday#travel#instatravel#tourist#vacation#traveling#travelling#wanderlust#adventure#picoftheday#photography#travelblogger#traveltheworld#photooftheday#africa
