Normally, thinking of a lake would make you think of a peaceful, friendly place, small waves lapping the shore of a quiet environment, and a place with a moderate climate. Not so Lac Assal. Before setting out there, everyone warns you of the prohibitive climate, while common sense tells you that a dip in the lake will not be on the programme. Lac Assal is situated more than 150 metres below sea level, making it the lowest point on the African continent. Moreover, it is also one of the hottest points. The lake consists of very saline water; it is saltier than the Dead Sea making it virtually impossible to enter.
