Local Sand Trivia
Tills svensk text om landet hunnit översättas – här är en engelsk:
What looks like coral sand bordering the aquamarine water of Djibouti’s Lake Assal is in fact salt. The shallow lake is saltier than the Dead Sea and stings skin if going for a swim. Lake Assal is situated in the Danakil Desert, one of the hottest, driest and lowest places on the planet. Three of Earth’s tectonic plates pull the desert apart, causing some for extreme landscape with acid toxic lakes, a volcano crater below the sea level, vapors of sulfur and odd geological formations.
