Have you seen the video report about The hottest place on earth?
61The hottest place on earth, Dallol.
We may have just wondered where the hottest place on earth could be. It is in Ethiopia, east of Africa, in a place called "Dallol". Dallol's has an average annual temperature of 34 degrees. This place is a settlement for Afar people, one of the many tribes in the country. Dallol is such a remote place that there seems to be no sign of life. The locals use camels to go to the place and collect salt for merchandise. The other wonder of Dallol is the live volcano that still sprouts red-hot larva. A team of scientists went there to see this natural wonder and they wondered how people are living there. One has to be fit to live in such a place.
Potash production has been done by American company in the early nineties. The place is now a ghost town where some buildings still stand. They all are made of salt blocks. So the hottest place on earth is a very inhospitable place with a very hot temperature year in and year out but the Afar people live there.
The team of scientists who traveled to the place to have a first hand look and a scientific study too have documented all their journey. it is really a great achievement because they have tried to cover every area of life there. they actually confessed that this is the hottest place on earth, hence their video titled on you tube. Very interesting to see all episodes and then wonder how life on planet earth is so much different. The developed world has so much to live upon and still complains that life is not fair. See and wonder how life in this region could be harsh and still people call it home. They live, lough, eat, drink, bear children and of course die.
I have never traveled to Dallol, nor would i ever think to do so. Any Ethiopian who lived in the cities wouldn't dare risk his life by going there. I highly appreciate the team of scientists who risked their life to go there and brought back a first hand document of the hottest place on earth. The other thing that got my interest is the Australian lady who went there, married a local Afar man and still lives there. Men!...She almost looks like one of them except her color. She is doing a good work of helping these people in their medical shortcomings.
I believe Dallol, the hottest place on earth, will be an interesting tourist site where many will flock to see this wonder in their own eyes. "This is probably the best way to lose some weight" as one commented on the video. I suggest my readers to go and see all the videos through the link below. You won't stop being amazed.
