Dallol was in northern Ethiopia, located in administrative Zone 2 of the Afar Region with an elevation of about 130 meters below sea level. It has been described as a ghost town. Dallol currently holds the record high average temperature for an inhabited location on Earth, where an average annual temperature of 35°C. There are no roads; the only regular transport service is provided by camel caravans which travel to the area to collect salt. Nearby is the Dallol volcano, which last erupted in 1926.No More Roads
The nearest railway transportation point is Mersa Fatma which was completed in 1918. After the Second World War, British was dismissed all the rail roads. Some buildings still stand in Dallol, all built with salt blocks.
