达洛尔硫磺湖 Dallol Sulfur Ponds

从阿萨勒盐湖的营地前往达洛尔并不算远，一路上都是这种盐碱地，没有戴墨镜差点得了雪盲症。

From the camp of Asale Salt Lake to Dallol area it is not far away. All the way is like this saline-alkali land. Forgetting wearing sunglasses almost made me get snow blindness.

路上我们看见一个小盐峡谷。向导告诉我们当地人用它来制作传统药物。

On the road we saw a tiny salt canyon. The guide told us that local people use it to make traditional medicine.

一位老人在采集盐石，俗称“挖矿”。老人送了我们两块，我们拿回来泡脚用了。

The aged is collecting the salt stones. Maybe he is claiming BTC ^^ O(∩∩)O He was so kind that he gave us two stones for free.

不久我们就看见了一大片红土地，刺激的硫磺气味扑鼻而来。

Few minutes later we saw a large red land, and there is a strong and repulsive smell of sulfur coming rushing from the land.

这便来到了达洛尔了。当地人管图中的石头称作“撒旦的椅子”。

Those are salt and sulfur formations. Here is Dallol. The stone in the picture is called "the chair of Satan" by the local people. Our guide made fun of us to say it, "Sit down here, please!"

达洛尔是个低洼火山，有着许多的硫磺池和温泉。向导告诉我们必须十分小心地行走，不然容易掉入这硫酸湖中。

Dallol is a cinder cone volcano. There are many sulfur ponds and a lot of hot springs. The guide told us that we must walk very carefully so as not to fall down into the lake sulphate.

这里是一处温泉。和上图的不同，这里的水是可以触碰的。我摸了一下，水十分地粘滑。向导用矿泉水瓶装了满满几瓶带回家说是当药物用。

It is a hot spring. But unlike the one in the pictures above, we were able to touch the water. It was very smooth and thick. Our guide used all of our empty bottles to collect a lot of water and made them full. He said it is another medicine and it is valuable.

返回营地的路上我们走的是另一条路。路上有另一个更大的盐峡谷。

We drove back to our camp on the other road. This time we met a larger salt canyon that the one on the way we came.

路上一直有当地人在采集盐砖，骆驼也在往来穿梭，问了一下子一块盐砖价格居然只是10比尔一块盐砖。这么富含矿物质的盐砖，要是买下来就可以拿回家泡脚了。

Local people are collecting the salt bricks. The price of each salt brick is only 10 Birr. The camel caravans are are also moving around.

达纳基勒洼地是地球上最热的地方，所以我们回来后整个人都黑了好多。

The Danakil Depression is the hottest area on the earth so we got darker when we were back to the capital.
