Comparison with Yellowstone
I don't know if it is valid to compare Dallol with Yellowstone.

In Yellowstone the colors are dull compared to Dallol (looking at them without sunglasses). In Dallol the colors are very bright, even at noon with a tropical sun.

The colors in Yellowstone originate from bacteria/microbes/.. The colors in Dallol originate from a mix of salt water with iron oxide/sulfur/mud.

Both Yellowstone and Dallol have volcanic origins.
