Dallol (ዳሎል) is a locality in the Dallol woreda of northern
Ethiopia. Located in Administrative Zone 2 of the Afar Region in the
Afar Depression, it has a latitude and longitude of 14°14′19″N
40°17′38″E with an elevation of about 130 metres (430 ft) below sea
level. The Central Statistical Agency has not published an estimate
for the 2005 population of the village, which has been described as
a ghost town. Dallol currently holds the official record for record
high average temperature for an inhabited location on Earth, and an
average annual temperature of 35°C (95°F) was recorded between 1960
and 1966. Dallol is also one of the most remote places on Earth, but
paved roads to the nearby village of Hamedela are being built.
Still, the most important mode of transport besides jeeps are the
camel caravans that travel to the area to collect salt.
