Arrived at Lake Abbé just before sunset and photographed the amazing chimneys of volcanic lava. Went to our campsite and was allocated a tukul tent made of matting. Had a good dinner followed by Afar tribal dancing. Heard a hyena in the night.
Thu 11th: Got up at 5am to see the sunrise over the chimneys. Wandered amongst them for an hour or so, taking lots of photos. There were 'springs' of boiling water and quicksands. Saw the lake shore from a good distance, lined with flamingos.
