Last of an African odyssey in three parts.
Breaking the Continent.
The Ethiopian highlands - a giant blister on the earth's crust - are an ancient freezing landscape with unique wildlife. They overlook the Afar Triangle - an oppressively hot desert where people survive by mining for salt and digging for precious water. It is the most active part of the Rift Valley splitting the continent apart.
