Gaet'ale Pond is a small hypersaline lake located near the Dallol crater in the Danakil Depression (Afar Region, Ethiopia).

It is located over a hot spring of tectonic origin and has no apparent inlet or outlet streams.

According to residents of the nearby village of Ahmed'ela, an earthquake in January 2005 reactivated a thermal spring and the pond was created.

It also contains traces of iron(III) that form a complex with chloride, giving the water a characteristic yellow color.

Bird and insect corpses have been found around the pond, and it has been proposed that the gas may be harmful for small animals or humans.
