In January 2016, an expedition involving Olivier Grunewald, a photographer and a team of scientists, bringing together biologists, microbial ecologists and geologists, came to study this extreme environment: at least 120 meters below sea level, hyper arid, where the temperature in the liquid basins is 118 ° C, and / or acid, traces of life are present: archaea and extremophiles bacteria have been identified in the laboratories of Jussieu and Orsay.
 

This unique geological site, of great aesthetic value, is also a scientific challenge ... it is threatened by building of roads, large-scale potash tank exploitation projects that may affect the operation of the hydrothermal system Dallol, to the point of drying.

Become promoters of this film, through Crowndfunfing, to finalize the post-production of the film and to encourage Ethiopian authorities to protect the exploitation of potash, to recognize the site and register to  the Unesco World Heritage ... Dallol is our common heritage.
