Name: Ethiopia - Danakil Depression - Camp Atmosphere by George Vlad
Duration: 10 min 4 s
Description: The hottest place on Earth is surprisingly not that quiet. The only existing camp is pretty lively even when temperatures go above 50C/120F. The hot wind was blowing constantly while I was there making it difficult to record anything. More sounds and stories at https://mindful-audio.com
