Danger Feature: Kidnapping, Volcanoes, and Geysers Spread across northeastern Ethiopia, southern Eritrea, and northwestern Djibouti is the Danakil Desert of East Africa. Known far and wide for its volcanoes and geysers that give out many toxic gases and unbearable heat, this dessert is one of the most adverse and most dangerous places around the world. Daytime temperatures often surpass the extremes of 50 °C (122 °F), making it a gruesome place to visit or live in.

Either natural or humanmade, hazards and disasters abound in the Danakil Desert.
