About this listen
Drift off with calm, slow geography as we travel to the Afar Triangle, a blistering desert where three tectonic plates pull apart and the Earth is literally ripping open. Learn why this region is one of the planet’s most dangerous locations, from intense heat and toxic volcanic gases to earthquakes, rifting, and surreal lava landscapes.
In classic Sleepless Geographer style, we explore how the East African Rift is reshaping the Horn of Africa, creating new crust, salt flats, and otherworldly volcanic features. Put this on for sleep, relaxation, or quiet curiosity, and let soothing, boring geography turn Earth’s most extreme environments into the perfect bedtime story.
