Poisony beauty Danakil desert

Probably one of the most mysterious and unusual places on earth, is known to all Danakil desert. This basin, which extends to the north of Ethiopia and intersect in southwest Eritrea. Desert is poisonous. If an ordinary pilgrim wants to go for this place, it is likely, he simply can not survive in these places, because on its territory a lot of dangerous traps.

For example, one of them is that a long time ago, it was a green valley, but in these lands came sorcerer. It was he who called demons in the form of the four elements.
