This Ethiopian sulphur spring is one of the hottest and most inhospitable places on Earth - and the photos are mesmerizing

Ethiopia is home to some of the world's most beautiful scenery, including some striking sulphur - yes, sulphur - springs.

Earlier this month, award-winning photographer Carl Court visited one of these springs, located at the base of the Dallol Volcano.

The stunning site is roughly 600km north of the capital Addis Ababa, but many of the images don't look like anywhere else on Earth.
