In February 2002, Jürg Alean, Roberto Carniel and Marco Fulle and six other participants undertook an expedition to Erta Ale, Ethiopia, with the logistical help of L. Cantamessa and collaborators.

Additional material covers other volcanoes north and south of Erta Ale, the Dallol hot springs area and some impressions of the life and cultural heritage of Ethiopia. In February 2008 and 2011, Marco Fulle returned to Erta Ale and Dallol in order to document changes after six years, taking part in a VolcanoDiscovery expedition.
