Djibouti in five emoji

What each emoji refers to

🧂

🌋

Three tectonic plates are pulling apart underneath, which is why the ground is cracked and volcanic.

🦈

Whale sharks come into the Gulf of Tadjoura between November and February, close enough to shore to swim with.

🚢

The port handles the overwhelming majority of landlocked Ethiopia's trade.

🏜️

Summer temperatures sit above forty degrees for weeks, and the country is mostly stone rather than sand.
