One of the most beautiful and colorful places in the world is the Dallol desert in Ethopia, which is not a country normally renowned for its tourist attractions. The region is volcanic in origin, and the sulfur salts appear in a wide variety of bright Dr. Seuss primary colors.
The above photo does not depict inviting pools of water--they are actually composed of sulfuric acid. This feature, coupled with the facts that the average temperature is 93 degrees F (34 degrees C) and that well-armed terrorists from Eritrea are nearby, discourages casual visitation to the area.
