 Nighttime observation of Erta Ale's active lava lake under the stars and red glow (Tom Pfeiffer)
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. Following this deadly incident new safety measures involved military presence at all times on Erta Ale’s summit as well as armed Afar escorts for anyone traveling in these parts of the Danakil depression. Increased security made adventure travellers return to this one-off destination which recently saw a large increase in visitors as well as documentary coverage. The region will undoubtedly become even more popular now that the 8 July 2018 peace agreement between Ethiopia and Eritrea unexpectedly made an end to one of Africa’s longest running conflicts. ...plusThe historic background for this up to now troubled border zone is that Eritrea used to be a province of Ethiopia before it declared its independence in 1991, after 30 years of war for independence. A 1993 referendum resulted in a huge voting turn-out and vast majority in favour of Eritrea’s independence so that the new state was established and entered the United Nations. However, the exact location of the international border could not be agreed upon and gave rise to armed conflicts which culminated into the 1998 – 2000 Eritrean-Ethiopian war that costed the lives of tens of thousand people and displaced half a million. The UN facilitated 2000 peace agreement was however never fully carried out as Ethiopia did not hand back disputed territories to Eritrea. Both sides acted out numerous armed aggressions over the past 18 years, the most recent one being a one-day battle between their armies in June 2016.

Virunga National Park authorities announced that the park, recently closed after a serious security incident, will not re-open before 2019. VolcanoAdventures can therefore not offer any expeditions to Nyiragongo volcano and its lava lake until further notice. ...plusOn Friday 11 May, local militia forcefully abducted 2 British tourists and their Congolese driver whilst killing the Virunga NP ranger who tried to protect them. Eventually the three were safely returned but the park closed down immediately for at least the next 3 weeks. On Saturday 2 June the chief warden of Virunga NP, Emanuel De Merode, released an official statement in which he announced that the park would not be re-opened before the end of the year.

Their Virunga NP ranger escort was killed and their Congolese driver wounded but later released to bring the ransom message. The 2 British nationals were safely returned on Sunday 13 May – no official statement has been made on how they were released so one can assume that a ransom was being paid.
