John took this picture just yesterday, while building test ponds at the salt deposit(the Banques) at Lac Assal. The camels are seated on the salt deposit awaiting their 150-240 kilo loads. After using small pick axes to harvest the salt, the nomads will place the salt into 30 kilo bags and place them on either side of the camels backs. Then they will walk their camels out of the lake area and off to Ethiopia.
