This site is open to you for a join learning adventure driven by citizen-science. Enjoy and contribute as much as you wish. We will all benefit from this adventure as our knowledge on Dallol contributes to the advance of science and the preservation of this unique site.

Owing to its spectacular and unique geothermal activity, the Danakil plain hosts singular places, like the active Erta Ale volcano and Mount Dallol. The interest in Dallol has recently increased as a geological site and heritage attraction due to the high scientific interest and the beauty of the polyextreme hydrothermal field found at its summit.

The Project Dallol rests upon the powerful idea of Citizen Science. The hydrothermal activity in Dallol and the patters produced by this activity change with a frequency much higher than what is affordable, in terms of field campaigns, for scientific teams studying them. Only the daily visits of tourists can provide pictures and observations as often as required to follow the relative activity of different areas.
