Tuesday, Jul 17, 2018 Although visitor numbers increased significantly over the past years, the active lava lake of Erta Ale volcano and unique colourful scenery of Dallol’s hydrothermal fields remained more risky travel destinations due to their proximity to Ethiopia’s border with Eritrea. The decades long violent conflict between the two countries included the killing of 5 and kidnapping of 2 tourists visiting Erta Ale in January 2012.

Increased security made adventure travellers return to this one-off destination which recently saw a large increase in visitors as well as documentary coverage.
