Festival du Scoop d’Angers: Eitan Haddok reçoit le prix de l’information scientifique.
Le photographe Eitan Haddok a reçu le Samedi 30 Novembre 2008, le prix de l’information scientifique au Festival du Scoop et du Journalisme d’Angers, pour son sujet sur “la naissance d’un ocean”
The birth of an ocean in the hottest desert on Earth.
The Danakil desert located in the Afar triangle by the name of the tribes who live there, the Afar people, in northern Ethiopia on the Erythrean border, is 155 000 km2 large. In this desert, considered as the hottest on Earth (max. 60° C) and maybe the most inhospitable, we witness in real time the spectacular genesis of an ocean! Here on a geological scale, inexorably, the African horn is drifting away from the continent, and under our eyes is undergoing one of the greatest achievement of Gaia, the creation of a mid ocean ridge within the African Great Rift Valley.
