Hottest inhabited place on earth Among the hottest places on Earth — from Death Valley to Sudan — the destination with the hottest regular temperatures is a remote spot in the Ethiopian desert that’s only accessible by camel. Dallol, in the Danakil Depression, has earthquakes, volcanoes, geysers and salt canyons. Dallol was at one time a busy camp with workers mining for potash, sylvite, and salt, but the mine is now abandoned. Why is Dallol Ethiopia toxic? Dallol craters are dangerous places to visit because their surface can be covered by a crust of salt with pools of hot acidic water just inches below. Toxic gases are sometimes released from craters. The annual average high temperature is 41.2 °C and the hottest month has an average high of 46.7 °C (116.1 °F). The highest temperature ever recorded is 49 °C (121 °F). Temperature hovers around 21°c and at night it feels like 11°c. Temperature hovers around 23°c and at night it feels like 15°c. In August, Dallol gets 853.33mm of rain and approximately 25 rainy days in the month. It is the lowest known sub-aerial volcanic area in the world. Dallol is one of the world's most spectacular landscape: a vast area of uplifted thick salt deposits affected by intense fumarolic activity, probably caused by an active volcanic system beneath several kilometres of evaporation salt deposits. Dallol (Amharic: ዳሎል) is a locality in the Dallol woreda of northern Ethiopia. Located in Administrative Zone 2 of the Afar Region in the Afar Depression, it has a latitude and longitude of 14°14′19″N 40°17′38″E with an elevation of about 130 metres (430 ft) below sea level. The Central Statistical Agency has not published an estimate for the 2005 population of the village, which has been described as a ghost town. Dallol currently holds the official record for record high average temperature for an inhabited location on Earth, and an average annual temperature of 35 °C (95 °F) was recorded between 1960 and 1966. Dallol is also one of the most remote places on Earth, but paved roads to the nearby village of Hamedela are being built[when?]. Still, the most important mode of transport besides jeeps are the camel caravans that travel to the area to collect salt. Hottest inhabited place on earth In the region is the highly active hydrothermal system of Dallol, with numerous springs, terrace systems and fumaroles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallol_(ghost_town) https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/hottest-inhabited-place-on-earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
