  • EL SOD: THE SALT OF LIFE<br />
 <br />
 El Sod, the House Of Salt, is a village located 90 km from Yabelo, the capital of Borana people in South Ethiopia. It stands on the edge of an extinct volcano wide of 1,8 km diameter, with a salted lake in the crater. For centuries, men dive into the lake to collect the salt and sell it across Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya<br />
<br />
 It takes 1 hour on a narrow path to go down the 2,5 km from the village to the lake, 340 meters lower. The best view on the crater can be spotted from the recently built mosque.<br />
Every miner works as a free lance, independent from any company or boss. Most of the time divers are naked, the salted water being so agressive that it destroys everything, including clothes and shoes.<br />
 Miners try to protect their nose and ears with plugs made of soil wrapped in plastic bags. There’s no protection for the eyes: many suffer heavily from blindness.<br />
 When the weather is good after rains (Borana wait for it for months since the area suffers from drought) more than 200 men dive into the lake. More and more children are joining for the families to get some extra revenue. The parents are aware of the dangers but they don’t have any choice if they want to survive.<br />

Photo Shows;  Only Borana people get access to the salt in the volcano. A conflict would raise whenever another tribe try to enter the area.<br />

<br />
Photo Shows:  Women do not take part in the salt extraction. few of them go down in the carter to collect wood or branches for the cattle. As men are most the time naked , and some a re muslims, they also prefer to stay away, Usually women are dedicated to the hardest tasks in the Borana Culture, This is an exception<br />

Every miner works as a free lance, independent from any company or boss. Most of the time divers are naked, the salted water being so agressive that it destroys everything, including clothes and shoes.<br />
 Miners try to protect their nose and ears with plugs made of soil wrapped in plastic bags. There’s no protection for the eyes: many suffer heavily from blindness.<br />
 When the weather is good after rains (Borana wait for it for months since the area suffers from drought) more than 200 men dive into the lake. More and more children are joining for the families to get some extra revenue. The parents are aware of the dangers but they don’t have any choice if they want to survive.<br />

  • EL SOD: THE SALT OF LIFE<br />
 <br />
 El Sod, the House Of Salt, is a village located 90 km from Yabelo, the capital of Borana people in South Ethiopia. It stands on the edge of an extinct volcano wide of 1,8 km diameter, with a salted lake in the crater. For centuries, men dive into the lake to collect the salt and sell it across Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya<br />

Photo Shows;  Once the donkeys are loaded with 2x25kg of salt in each bag, they have to climb up to the village on the edge of the volcano. Under the sun, the rocks are turning into an oven, making the way back a hell. Some miners even collapse after such efforts.<br />
There is no room for industrialisation: Boranas are against it, willing to carry on this tradition as source of - small- revenues, and part of their culture.<br />

They use the sticks to break the bottom of the lake; then they dive along them in the shallow water, collect the black mud full of salt, and bring it back on the bank.<br />

<br />
 It takes 1 hour on a narrow path to go down the 2,5 km from the village to the lake, 340 meters lower. The best view on the crater can be spotted from the recently built mosque.<br />
Every miner works as a free lance, independent from any company or boss. Most of the time divers are naked, the salted water being so agressive that it destroys everything, including clothes and shoes.<br />
 Miners try to protect their nose and ears with plugs made of soil wrapped in plastic bags. There’s no protection for the eyes: many suffer heavily from blindness.<br />
 When the weather is good after rains (Borana wait for it for months since the area suffers from drought) more than 200 men dive into the lake. More and more children are joining for the families to get some extra revenue. The parents are aware of the dangers but they don’t have any choice if they want to survive.<br />

  • THE ATOMIC SURFERS FROM FUKUSHIMA<br />
<br />
On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Radiations sensors indicate the radioactivity level, but in these red zones classified as " difficulty to return zone" by the governement,  there is no one to read. 1 millisievert is the maximum permissible exposure limit during one year for humans..<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree of contamination in which is their home , residents receive compensation from TEPCO company. In the red zone they receive $ 1,000 per month per person . This creates tension in the population because those who are on the other side of the fence as here in Tomioka , receive nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the « orange zone » , residents have the right to visit their home if they want to take care of it, like here in Naraha . This man comes weeding his garden. His wife refuses to come , and he will not bring his childre

On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Radiations sensors indicate the radioactivity level, but in these red zones classified as " difficulty to return zone" by the governement,  there is no one to read. 1 millisievert is the maximum permissible exposure limit during one year for humans..<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree of contamination in which is their home , residents receive compensation from TEPCO company. In the red zone they receive $ 1,000 per month per person . This creates tension in the population because those who are on the other side of the fence as here in Tomioka , receive nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the « orange zone » , residents have the right to visit their home if they want to take care of it, like here in Naraha . This man comes weeding his garden. His wife refuses to come , and he will not bring his childre

On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />

<br />
On march 11 at 2:46 pm 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0  earthquake magnitude which generated a tsunami on the japanese coasts. Here in Futaba beach, the giant wave has broken the first floor of an hotel.<br />
<br />
18,500 people died , 90% drowned by the tsunami wave . The bodies of 2,561 of these people were not found. Steles are visible along the roads to honor them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5 years later, the scars of the tsunami are still visible like  in Tomioka town . The law now prohibits to live in areas destroyed by the tsunami . Only the industrial or commercial activities are allowed, but the candidates are very few to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The road  fences have been bent by the strenght of the waves. Only the police patrols in the area to monitor the few houses still standing and controlling the curious visitors. In the distance the speakers encourage visitors and workers to consult a doctor in case of persistent headaches .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The tsunami hit the Daaitchi nuclear plant , that can be spotted from Futaba beach . The disaster was rated level 7, the equivalent of Chernobyl. In 5 years, nearly 50 000 people have worked with strong financial incentives to decontaminate the plant and stop the leaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Radiations sensors indicate the radioactivity level, but in these red zones classified as " difficulty to return zone" by the governement,  there is no one to read. 1 millisievert is the maximum permissible exposure limit during one year for humans..<br />
<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree of contamination in which is their home , residents receive compensation from TEPCO company. In the red zone they receive $ 1,000 per month per person . This creates tension in the population because those who are on the other side of the fence as here in Tomioka , receive nothing.<br />
