HOW DOES THE DANAKIL DEPRESSION PROVIDE A LIVING FOR THE AFAR TRIBESMEN

THE DANAKIL DEPRESSION MAY SEEM LIKE A TERRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE IN.

THE AFAR TRIBES HAD MADE IT THEIR HOME.

INSPITE OF THE DREADFUL HEAT AND PARCHED LANDSCAPE,THE AFAR ARE ABLE TO MAKE A LIVING IN DANAKIL BY NOMADIC FARMING AND SALT GHATHERING.

THE LAND INHABITATED BY AFAR IS EXTREMELY RAID AND BARREN,CONSISTING OF SAND AND STONE,INTRESPERSED WITH SALTLAKES AND LAVASTREAMS.THE AFAR SURVIVE MOSTLY ON MEAT,BOTH DOMESTIC AND WILD AND DIARY PRODUCTS,AND THEY RAISE GOATS,SHEEP AND CAMELS.THEY CHANGE THEIR HOME ACCORDING TO SEASON.
