Lac Abbe Chimneys at sunrise

Lake Abbe is known for its limestone chimneys, which reach heights of 50 meters and from which steam vents.

The shore of lake Abbe is occupied by the nomadic Afar people, while the lake is also known for its flamingos.

Smoke on the water

For some reason, cigarrette smoke on the hot spring causes the entire surface of the water to give off vapors.

Very cool to watch as the guide blows a touch of smoke onto the hot spring.
