Dallol is a unique, terrestrial hydrothermal system around a cinder cone volcano in the Danakil Depression, northeast of the Erta Ale Range in Ethiopia. It is known for its unearthly colors and mineral patterns, and the very acidic fluids that discharge from its hydrothermal springs .
A railway from the port of Mersa Fatma in Eritrea to a point 28 km (17 mi) from Dallol was completed in April 1918. Built from 1917 to 1918 by using the 600 mm (24 in) gauge Decauville system (ready-made sections of small-gauge track that can be rapidly assembled), it transported salt from the "Iron Point" rail terminal near Dallol via Kululli to the port.
Among the geological points of interest to tourists are the hydrothermal system of Dallol [11] and the Yellow Lake. [12] Gaet'ale Pond is a small hypersaline lake located over a tectonic hot spring in the Danakil Depression (Afar, Ethiopia). With a salinity of 43%, Gaet'ale Pond is the saltiest water body on Earth. [13]

Lake Karum (also known as Lake Assale or Asale) is a salt lake in the Afar Region of Ethiopia.One of two salt lakes in the northern end of the Danakil Depression (the other one being Lake Afrera), it lies 120 m (394 ft) below sea level. [1]

The lineage has since been identified in data from a range of hypersaline environments including: Australian thalassohaline lake, [7] Spanish saltern, [8] Russian soda brine, [9] Californian saltern, [10] Chilean halite, [11] and Ethiopian Dallol hydrothermal system. [12]
