Afterwards he spent a month hunting alone in the hostile Danakil desert of Abyssinia (now Ethiopia), a thrilling experience which led three years later to his successful exploration of the Awash River. Today he still regards this expedition as the most dangerous he ever undertook. Aged only 23, Thesiger became the first European to travel through the fabled Sultanate of Aussa, a forbidding land where two Italian expeditions and an Egyptian army had previously been wiped out by Danakil tribesman. Thesiger\u2019s remarkable journey solved one of Africa&#8217;s last remaining geographical mysteries [\u2026] A vivid, compelling narrative, <i>The Danakil Diary<\/i> records how the young Thesiger surmounted overwhelming obstacles and survived the constant threat of death and mutilation by the Danakil, warriors whose tribal status depended on the number of men they had killed and castrated\u2019 (dustwrapper blurb).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"829\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2011_02-829x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-535\" style=\"width:350px;height:434px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2011_02-829x1024.jpg 829w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2011_02-350x432.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2011_02-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2011_02-768x949.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2011_02-283x350.jpg 283w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2011_02.jpg 985w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the course of this expedition, Thesiger collected and preserved some 872 birds from the Danakil region (including 192 species and three new subspecies), publishing his findings with M.
