why not take a look at these videos?
Travel the planet in just 2 minutes, among volcanos, tribes and fading traditions. This is the video that closed my talk at National Geographic Exodus Aveiro Fest 2019, shown exclusively to the +700 live audience. If you like it, please share it with the world, so that more passionate photographers and wanderlust souls can join the ride!
Unforgiving temperatures of up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit beat down on these hardworking salt miners every single day. The salt mines, situated in the Afar triangle, stretch across 100,000 square kilometres and at their lowest point are more than 300 feet below sea level.
Nature is so incredible and beautiful that, sometimes, it almost makes you cry in awe. This is an extremely rare view over Ilamatepec and Izalco volcanoes, in Santa Ana, El Salvador. No further description is needed, since the video will say it all. I hope you get as emotional as I did!
Buckle up and get ready to fly over the hottest place on Earth, where the Erta Ale volcano lava lake, the multicoloured Dallol sulfur springs and the Danakil depression wastelands of salt exist. A never before seen aerial footage and images by © Joel Santos - www.joelsantos.net. Ethiopia, 2016.
