One of the most fossil-rich and well known sites in paleoanthropology, the Hadar Research Area is located 300 km northeast of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The name Hadar derives from the nearby Kada Hadar tributary that feed into the Awash River. A thin greenbelt surrounding the Awash River is the only greenery among Hadar’s badlands of rolling hills and occasional desert scrub brush. Few plants can survive Hadar’s arid conditions, where temperatures routinely climb as high as 110ºF (40º C) during the day.
