Dallol Hydrothermal Field: Acid Pools and Toxic Gases in a Hell-on-Earth Landscape

Описание: Journey with us to the Dallol Hydrothermal Field in the Danakil Depression, Ethiopia – one of the hottest, most acidic and most alien-looking landscapes on Earth. In this cinematic science–travel documentary from “Science Meets Adventure – Exploring Nature’s Secret”, we explore acid pools, toxic gases and the search for extremophile life in a true “hell on Earth” environment.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
– How the Afar Triple Junction and rifting tectonic plates created the Danakil Depression
– Why Dallol’s hydrothermal fluids form bright yellow, green and red mineral terraces
– The chemistry behind hyper-acidic pools, boiling brines and toxic gas emissions
– What scientists have learned about extremophile microbes and the limits of life
– How Dallol helps astrobiologists think about Mars, Europa and other worlds
– What it’s like to travel to Dallol: 4x4 convoys, salt caravans, heat, safety and local Afar culture
– The connection between salt mining, volcanoes and traditional camel caravans

If you love science documentaries, extreme environments and off-the-map travel, this video is for you.
