⚠️The Dilal Geothermal Field in Ethiopia is a place where life cannot survive due to extreme temperatures, acidity, and salinity.
🌡️The temperatures in the Dilal pools can range from 40 to 108 degrees Celsius, which is too high for proteins and DNA to function properly.
💧The extreme acidity of the pools prevents cells from functioning and interacting with water molecules effectively.
🧂The high salinity of the pools causes water to rush out of cells, leading to cellular dehydration and death.
🔬Researchers are continuously studying extreme environments like the Dilal pools to understand the limits of life and provide insights into the potential for life on other planets.
