Erta Ale + Dallol Expedition Nov 2010 - Photos

The following photos were taken during the recent expedition to the Danakil. We stayed on Erta Ale from 25-28 Nov and in the area of Dallol from 30 Nov - 2 Dec.

VolcanoDiscovery stayed on Erta Ale between 25 and 28 November. We were surprised to find the south crater filled with fresh flows, and the lava lake overflowing onto the caldera. The following photos, arranged in chronological order, give an impression of the activity and the changes of the lava lake in the south crater. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)
