@omarcmysteries: In the scorching Danakil desert of Ethiopia lies Erta Ale — a lake that isn't made of water, but molten fire. 🌋🔥 Its glowing lava lake has churned non-stop since at least 1906, making it one of only a handful of permanent lava lakes on the entire planet. Its name means "the smoking mountain," and scientists still can't fully explain what keeps the lava liquid and exposed for over a century, when almost every other volcano seals itself shut. Even stranger is where it sits: right on the Afar Triangle, where three tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart — the exact place where Africa is tearing in two, and where a brand-new ocean could form millions of years from now. How long has this lake of fire really been burning? 👇 #mystery #didyouknow #unexplained #volcano
