The Other-Worldy Landscape Of Djibouti's Lake Abbe

Lake Abbe is a saline lake, lying on the border between Ethiopia and Djibouti. The Lake is found in the central area of the Afar Depression - a sunken land form forming as a result of the African plate splitting into the Nubian and Somalian plates.
This depressions draws water from the African heartland via the Awash River to a chain of six connected lakes, with Lake Abbe representing the final destination for the river.
