This depression is only part
of a long, stretched rift, continuing down
through all of East Africa. In millions of years,
the rift will widen until a strip of the continent
breaks off, drifting into the Indian Ocean. In such places, volcanoes form. This particular one, Erta Ale, is one of the three in the world
where magma is directly exposed. [rumbling]
