- FarcicalFart, on 02/09/2008, -1/+69It was in the BBC's Planet Earth series, episode 2 if anyone is interested.
- ClavinJ, on 02/09/2008, -2/+49this is digg in its prime, showing us quick links to awesome stuff like that pic
- inactive, on 02/09/2008, -1/+28Looks like the alien dimension from Half-Life 1.
- phnx0221, on 02/09/2008, -0/+24Wow, that is very beautiful. One of the things that I've always wanted to do was explore volcanoes like this. I know that the gases are incredibly dangerous, and you would have to have suitable protection, but man...it would be amazing to see that in person.
I guess having other people who are adequately equipped do this, and take pictures of it is the next best thing. :) Great submission! - shaundee, on 02/09/2008, -2/+20Thats where Xenu put the bombs!

"Oh, ***** why am I on Xen?" - BETRAMS, on 02/09/2008, -2/+11*****, I thought we were all settled on Blu-ray..
- openthink, on 02/09/2008, -0/+5I agree with you, phnx. Would love to see this up close. It's such a vivid pic, though, you do get some sense of it. Looks like the topography of some other planet....or some imagined or simulated planetary surface.

- ekin09, on 02/09/2008, -2/+6Yeah, that picture doesn't justify how surreal it actually is. I highly recommend picking up the HD-DVD Planet Earth series.
- inactive, on 02/09/2008, -0/+4that is absolutely insane.
- ursername180, on 02/09/2008, -0/+4It looks soapy!
- Mr.Gone, on 02/09/2008, -0/+4What do you mean "almost" surreal. This is pretty damn surreal. Nature is amazing sometimes.
- brnagi, on 02/09/2008, -1/+4Nice picture, it looks like another planet altogether.
- lemonloser, on 02/09/2008, -0/+3looks like a Dali painting

- JakeCast, on 02/09/2008, -0/+2Not a good place to drop your keys.
- Easty, on 02/09/2008, -0/+2Just out of shot: Angry Gonarch and legions of headcrabs.
- fasika96, on 08/11/2009, -0/+1@AriaGloris: if I understand correctly, 'identifiedlogo' meant to say lowest place on land
- lenninct, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1this is something out of this world, /// still nice....
- rockets, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Instructions for Linux:
None. (you already know what to do) - Recluse, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1I'm sorry but when did 1280x1024 become widescreen?
- softboiled, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1reminds me of those "grow your own crystals" kits I used to have.
- nerdtalker, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Where's the force field with the eternal battery then? Or is that the salt? O_o?!
- skyshock1, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1File not found. :(
- petebot, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1I was thinking Yves Tanguy...
- melonade, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1Looks gross and dangerous. But oh-so-cool.
- k0rd, on 02/09/2008, -1/+2Looks like a WoW map
- identifiedlogo, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1thats in Dallol, Ethiopia. Its is in the Danakil depression. it is the lowest point and the hottest place on earth.
The volcano is the lowest volcano on land. It last erupted in 1926.
Another pic. http://science.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/ ... - ryancxx, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1I bet it smells horrible
- skyfire1, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1I don't believe this is real.
- MindTrigger, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1Agrilat Swamp, Corellia
- metasin, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1i'm so glad you didn't say "amazing".
- dunk71, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1I think I can see some thetans
- mal1964, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1Wow!, that's a Spectacular (Almost Surreal) Shot Of Volcanic Crater
- TheKoopaBros, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1It reminds me of glass and melted wax. Stunning.
- riggs32, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1my new desktop. thanks digg :-)
- AriaGloris, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1I believe the Afar Depressionis one of the lowest places on earth, Lake Asal lies –155 meters or –500 ft below sea level (DV is somewhere around 80?)
Either way check out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremes_on_Earth - AriaGloris, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1Turns out "The Dead Sea" is the lowest place on earth positioned 417 meters (1,373 feet) below sea level!!
Check wiki out, there's some fantastic images (flickr also has loads of gooden's). - SurlyDuff, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1Nah...actually the slush is a fairly yellow-brown consistency. I'm guessing that's just dirt though...hopefully.
- inactive, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1Heres an interesting fact about Nat Geo propaganda efforts in their current productions.
They use the term "volcanic gases" in place of carbon dioxide, but still use the term sulfur dioxide where it is accurate.
Seems they don't want the kiddies to know CO2 emissions are natural in any manner. This is blue print propaganda.
BTW the volume of natural CO2 emissions from the tens of thousands of km of volcanic rifts is still completely unknown........ - SurlyDuff, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1Reminds me of slush on the streets...maybe cause there's currently a lot of it here in Toronto:P
- urwis, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1ive been there on vaction. Me and my buddies filmed it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 - sdellboy, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1I expected to see Spock, Bones, Kirk, Sulu and a soon-to-be-dead extra coming over the ridge....
- venezian, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1I'm going there this summer.
- wondertwins, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1i want the disk collection so bad. but its so darn expensive! After i save up, i will get the collection
- Sunscreen, on 02/09/2008, -0/+1I highly recommend picking up the Blu-ray series.
