Salt Desert Patterns and Camel Caravan, Danakil Depression, Ethiopia

Aerial photograph from the salt patterns and the ‪‎salt‬ miner ‪#‎caravan‬ marching to the salt extraction site, where they cut brick like chunks of salt from the ground and load them on the camels, working from 8am to 4pm while temperatures rise above 45 Cº. The ‪‎Danakil‬ depression, ‪#Ethiopia‬, is located below sea level and the region's salt deposits were created over time as water from the Red Sea periodically flooded the depression and evaporated, the most recent such flood was roughly 30,000 years ago and the next is estimated to be in about 10 million years.

Next Photo Expedition with Joel Santos and Magali Tarouca: Mongolia, 06 to 21 September 2016, to photograph the Eagle Hunters, the nomad migration, the Eagle Hunting Festival and the stunning wildlife and landscapes. More info and sign up at bit.ly/PhotoMongolia
