The most extreme places on earth

We explore the most extreme places on earth. Crazy travel destinations where people find paths to exist in rough and hostile environments

I have always been fascinated by rough environments and especially the discoverers who faced them. When I researched the most remote places on earth, I came across several extreme environments that were simply not created for human settlement or trip.

However, we humans are a breed of perseverance and often find ways to survive in these rough and hostile countries. Here are just a few of the most extreme places on earth.

Coldest place of the Erdesovjetian Wostok station, Antarctic

Alt = "Antarctic"Dream time

On July 21, 1983, researchers from the Soviet Antarctic Station with -89.2 ° C (-128.6 ° F) recorded the lowest natural temperature of all times near the ground. Satellite data also indicates that the Antarctic (where else?) On August 10, 2010 has dropped to -93.2 ° C (-135.8 ° f) -but this has never been confirmed on the ground.

The research station is one of the most isolated on the Antarctic continent and usually houses over 25 scientists all year round.

The hottest place on Earthfurnace Creek, Death Valley, California, USA

The name actually says everything, doesn't it? On July 15, 1972, a soil temperature of 93.9 ° C was measured here. That's just below the boiling point, isn't it? The words "oven" and "death" are suitable names for every place that even reaches this temperature.

Nevertheless, the national park is now a tourist destination that houses a visitor center and numerous hiking trails. If I consider that I drove through there without air conditioning ...

The most damp place on Erdemawsynram, Meghalaya, India

old = “extreme places - 2 ″

To be honest, I can't believe that it is not London. However, the village of Mawsynram receives 467 inches (11.86 meters) rain per year. Mawsynram is located in India, but thanks to the proximity to the flood areas of Bangladesh and the air currents, which collect endlessly over them, "enjoys" Mawsynram almost constant rain. Sounds a bit of London, but with much fewer residents: 1,337.

Dryer place on the Earthatacama desert, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina

Alt = "Atacama desert: facts about Chile"Atlas & BootsAtacama desert, the dryest place on earth

This place is regularly compared to Mars. The NASA even repeated the tests that they carried out on Mars and discovered that parts of the Atacama "overlooked current signs of life in soil samples", which essentially made it strange. The Atacama extends over 105,000 square kilometers (41,000 square miles) of South America and takes part of four countries.

The average amount of precipitation is about 15 millimeters (0.59 inches) per year, which means that there is almost no precipitation in many areas of the desert. It is not surprising that the desert is one of the most thinned areas of the earth.

Coldest inhabited place on Earthayymyakon, Russia

The 500 people who live here experience days from 3 hours in December to 21 hours in June thanks to the northern situation. In 1933 the temperature fell to -67.7 ° C (-90 ° f), which led to the competition for the coldest place on earth (point) for a while.

The climate is brutal and regularly cuts off the city from the rest of Russia, which makes Oimyakon one of the most remote places on earth.

The hottest inhabited place on EarthDallol, Ethiopia

old = "extreme places - Ethiopia"

In another part of the world at another time, Dallol may have been a popular tourist destination, considering that between 1960 and 1966 it had an average maximum temperature of 41.1 ° C (106.0 ° F).

Unfortunately, such temperatures do not help a country that suffers from incurable droughts and famines. There is no estimate for the local population here, which is to be expected due to its seclusion and the fact that it is 130 m (-430 ft) below sea level.

The biggest purely vertical waste on Earthmount Thor, Auyuittuq National Park, Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada

It would take about 36 seconds for a 77 kg person to fall the 1,250 m (4,101 ft) from the cliff 400 meters below the summit of Mount Thor. The overhanging cliff drops at an average angle of 15 degrees to the vertical, which means that if you were unlucky, you would not hit anything until you reach the reason.

Um, good? Nevertheless, it is still a popular place for climbing and mountaineering.

The most dangerous place on earth

In view of all the various factors, this is a difficult to measure "award". However, according to the report of the Global Peace Index (GPI), Afghanistan and Syria were repeatedly referred to as the most dangerous countries in the world.

In addition, the city of San Pedro Sula in Honduras with 1,319 murdered in 2014 and a murder rate of 171.20 murders per 100,000 inhabitants than the most dangerous city in the world.

On a broader level, Honduras leads the table internationally with 7,172 murders in 2012 and a rate of 90.4 per 100,000 inhabitants. In fact, make dark.

The safest place on earth

Alt = "Extreme Places - Monoco"

At the other end of the spectrum there are the safest places on earth, which, not surprisingly, are among the most expensive. Monaco and Liechtenstein (both in Europe) have not recorded any mudratics in recent years.

Both are developed countries with strong health and medical systems and neither of them is directly threatened by natural disasters. For some okay, right? And with some I mean film stars, playboys and Formula 1 drivers.
