After visiting Dallol, it was necessary to cross again the lake in the opposite direction. But this time, in the middle of the lake, our vehicle stopped and didn’t want to restart. The 2nd vehicle pulled us to the village of Ahmed Ela. Without its help, we had to go back to the village by walk with a terrible heat.

Two strange sources on Lake Karum… Water comes from the depths of Earth and flows nowhere.

I am not sure, but the mountain in the background is perhaps the Erta Ale volcano.
