The lake itself is behind the formations. We did not come for the lake. The formations are "chimneys" formed by mineral rich boiling waters and steam. Walking around in the area can be dangerous, with super heated outlets hidden just beneath the crusty surface, and hot rivulets of water snaking here and there.

Morning light adds a beautiful glow to the formations.

Donkeys wander from the shores of Lac Abbé, amongst the stark rock formations, heading back to the night time safety of their villages. There are predators here at night - we heard them while at the nearby camp overnight.

Lac Abbé, in southern Djibouti, right on the border with Ethiopia.
