According to the latest information received, the hottest place in the world is located in the desert of Lut (Iran).In general, this discovery was made recently becauseEarlier this point simply was not involved in the competition for the title of "hells hell."Why is that?Because places like the Gobi, Sahara and others, are so remote and harsh that they conduct any studies simply unrealistic.Even the most desperate scientists are unlikely to turn up in this place, and even more so during the summer.Building in such circumstances, no weather stations - it is a priori a failed project becauseMost ground equipment simply will not work there.
Now the data were obtained using modern equipment to provide detailed images of the Earth.Skilled only needed to analyze the collected material in 7 years.As it turned out, the average temperature in the loot is 70.7 degrees Celsius.Impressive, is not it?
Needless to say that in such circumstances can not live any living beings, there is no water, no vegetation.The bare sand and the kingdom of eternal hell is impossible.
addition Lut desert, to places with extremely hot air temperature can also be considered abandoned village of Dallol in Ethiopia, Mr. El Azizia in Libya Death Valley in the United States and the desert Mitraba located in Kuwait.
Section 3. The hottest place on earth.Russia
This year the heat wave in the country, according to weather forecasters, continues to break records.What area is an absolute record-holder?It turns out it Uta weather station located in Kalmykia.It was here that was recorded the absolute temperature record +45,4 ° C.
This does not mean a notable settlement is unlikely someone would've heard something, if not abnormal temperature.And what?The hottest place in Russia continues to live his life here carried gas and water supply, go to school and older children work on the weather station adults.
