 If you are bored with the beaches and tedious on a city break is worth a try travel beyond this world. Tour  company Volcano Discovery offers travelers in search of an unusual  journey into the wilderness Danakil in Ethiopia - one of the most  inhospitable places on Earth. The landscape is so unusual that it seems as if you were on another planet. Volcano Discovery founder Tom Pfeiffer, who 40 years, a volcanologist  from Germany, said: "People are happy to pay for a week or two-week tour  in the strangest place on Earth."

Danakil - it is very often terrible volcanoes, scorching the air, toxic gases and sulfur lakes. Most unpleasant conditions of the place have made him "the cruelest place on earth."


In this hot raging at the huge Arabian tectonic plate is broken by separating the African plate in half. Kollosalnyh  division, which is a gradual separation of the huge underground  reservoir, causes the appearance of two "emerging" daughter plates,  which scientists have named the Somali and Nubian. Efforts volcanic activity, frequent earthquakes as failures occur  throughout the length of the fault, allowing the lava erupting from the  depths to the surface of the planet.


Fearless travelers willing to pay a lot of money to get right into the heart of this place. Volcano Discovery offers a three-week tour, worth 3,000 pounds, which begins in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. 67-year-old retired civil servant Kwame Ofori from London vacationing  VolcanoDiscovery Customer Service and several private tourists.


He said: "It's much more interesting than to spend a week by the pool. Those who come here need to understand that they do not provide luxurious bungalows with views of the beach. This harsh environment filled with strange smells and views. Local views - delicious and unique. All around is full of unusual colors and scenery like nowhere else. The heat can be unbearable at times, but worth it. This is really something new. "

Wow - that's amazing. That Orange salty cake looked good enough to eat. But I bet it'd probably kill me. lol

I love your pictures, especially the sunset over the great salt lake, and the orange "cake" in the middle of the green acid salt pond. I don't know if I would have set up my tent so close in that first pic !

Have a great day @maxmalini !

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.
