Nick Middleton, a geography lecturer at Oxford University, likes bad weather. In National Geographic’s four-
part TV series Going to Extremes, Nick travels to the places with the most extreme weather in the world- the
hottest, coldest, wettest and driest places. In one episode of the series, Nick visits the Danakil in North East
Ethiopia. The Danakil is a desert of salt. It’s 100 metres lower than sea level and it’s hot! The temperature is
often higher than 50 degrees. The highest average temperature. In summer, it’s never lower than 400. The local
people, the Afar, are very tough. The men carry guns and long knives. But Nick finds their softer side: hair.
These men spend two hours a day working on their big Afro hair. In this heat, they say, their hair is better than a
hat.
