Sulphur, Salt and Other Minerals Color the Crater of Dallol Volcano, Ethiopia Photographic Print (14º14'30"N 40º18'0"E)

Dallol is a ‘maar’ or broad, low-relief volcanic craters in the Danakil Depression, northeast of the Erta Ale Range in Ethiopia. Formed during a 1926 phreatic eruption (when rising magma makes contact with ground or surface water), numerous other similar craters are in the area. These craters are over 45 m (150 ft) below sea level, the lowest known subaerial volcanic vents in the world.

The term Dallol (coined by the Afar people) means dissolution or disintegration describing a landscape made up of acid ponds (pH-values around 2) iron oxide, sulfur and salt desert plains. The Danakil Depression resembles the hot springs areas of Yellowstone Park.

India's Deccan Plateau, Photographic Print (18º51'0"N 73º43'0"E)

The Deccan Plateau of India is the result of enormous floods of lava breaking through Earth's crust towards the end of the Cretaceous period, between 67 and 65 million years ago.

The eruption is called the Deccan Traps - Deccan is from the Sanskrit word meaning south, and in geology the term “trap”, derived from the Swedish word for stairs, describing the step-like hills topography of part of the Plateau.

The mineral rich Plateau has areas of mica, iron, gold, and diamonds.

It was the first declared national monument in the US.

FYI - Devils is the correct spelling, with out the '.
