7 photographs that take us to Ethiopia

We've already talked about the trips to Ethiopia in this space before, but we love the country so much that we cannot resist returning to it. This time, we suggest a visual introduction to this beautiful corner of Africa. For this, we have looked beyond our photographic archives but on social media. We want to see the snapshots travellers bring home from the country and share with their friends and followers online. We have searched the instant photo-sharing network Instagram and show you the results below.

Gorgeous views in the Simien Mountains. Our 2 day hike took us around the lip of the valley with no shortness of epic views. Ethiopia is a beautiful place to explore. #OasisOverland @oasisoverland #Ethiopia #nature #outdoors #view #overlandtravel #africa #explore #overland #adventure #travel #traveler #wanderlust #travelblogger #mountains #adventuretravel #landscape #travelstroke #thisistravel #takemethere #passport #onlyinAfrica #bucketlist #travelphotos #photography #hiking   A photo posted by Divergent Travelers (@divergenttravelers) on 18 Oct 2015 at 7:43 PDT

This incredible #sulphur #lake is located in the #Danakil Depression, a #geological depression resulting from the presence of three tectonic plates in the Horn of Africa. Located in the northern part of the #Afar region in #Ethiopia, the Danakil Depression is one of the lowest and hottest places on #earth. #africa #hornofafrica #scenery #wildfrontiers #travel #adventure #offthebeatentrack #wanderlust #instatravel #photooftheday

Men from the Mursi tribe sealing the neck wound after a ceremonial bleeding of a cow. Like other indigenous groups in Africa and elsewhere, the Mursi people drink the blood of the cow for strength and nourishment. The Mursi shoot the cow in the neck from close range with a bow and arrow, collect a liter or two of blood in a large calabash shell then close the wound by putting pressure on it and turning the neck. The cow is unharmed and the blood is mixed with fresh milk before drinking. In this case, two young boys drank. It was a fascinating ceremony and I was nervously prepared to try it if offered to me. Unfortunately, the milk, yogurt and raw liver would have to do… #blood   A photo published by Markus Jarrow (@markusjarrow) on 18 Oct 2015 at 9:57 PDT

Lac Abbe Lake Abbe is the ultimate destination of the waters of the Awash River. It lies at the Afar Triple Junction, the central meeting place for the three pieces of the Earth’s crust, a defining feature of the Afar Depression. Here three pieces of Earth’s crust are each pulling away from that central point, though not all at the same speed. #Djibouti #landscape #landscapes #Africa #volcano #saltlake #lacAbbe #volcanovents #chimney #flamingo #travel #traveling #camping #hornofafrica #wanderlust #landscape_lovers #lake #danakil #danakildepression #flamingo #afar #desert
