		Exceptionnelle région que celle du lac Assal et du lac du Ghoubet, où naît petit à petit l’océan érythréen.
		Ainsi, le relief s’abaisse (le lac Assal se situe à 157 m au-dessous du niveau de la mer), les laves émergent depuis les profondeurs de la Terre et, en refroidissant, forment les cônes volcaniques et ces « champs » noirs, qui seront un jour sous les eaux du futur océan.
		The region between Lake Assal and Lake Ghoubbet is an extraordinary one where, little by little, an Eritrean ocean is in the process of being born.
