Rocky Island, Turquoise Salt Lake Assal, Djibouti

Its name means 'honey' in Arabic, but the waters of this Djibouti lake are far from sweet. Rapid evaporation here in the desert, combined with a lack of outflow, give Lake Assal a salinity level as high as 40%—ten times as salty as the ocean. Assal is even saltier than the Dead Sea and almost as low-lying: its surface more than 500 feet below sea level, it's the lowest-elevation point in Africa.
通往自由之路
红色与蓝色
一对与众不同的搭档
无可比拟的坎塔布里亚
小小的灯塔点守护着船只的平安
峭壁、海湾和火山口
不断变化形状的海岸
地势极低的湖泊
