As you see the sun rise over the shores of Lac Abbé, you might think you are not on the earth anymore: the landscape unfolding before your eyes is unlike any other.
Actually, Lac Abbé is exactly on the spot where three tectonic plates meet, which explains some of the activity in this area. The chimneys area actually all born on fault lines, where the hot water from below has formed the 50 metre high pinnacles. Lac Abbé is Afar territory, and Abbé actually means rotten in the local language, describing the smell emitted by the chimneys. Walking among the chimneys is amazing, looking at the landscape from a distance gives you even more the impression of an otherworldly area. So much so, that the original Planet of the Apes movie was shot right at this location!
