Usually during the summer months the streets of Las Vegas can be seen packed with tourists, but Tuesday it was deserted because of the extreme heat.


Pictured, misters are seen at the Linq Promenade to keep patrons cool from the hot temperatures in Las Vegas


A woman trying to cool herself with ice made available for the public.




You see, the reason these westerners are more developed than we are is their sincere ability to exercise thoughtfulness and genuine selfless LOVE for humanity. Each one feels its his responsibility to make life less difficult for humans in their little way. Someone invented misters to prevent others from getting burnt. Some others provided ice...they didn't have to invent that, but they BELIEVED it would keep keep someone from roasting.

In another country, Dates were donated to the poor and helpless...baboons stole them and had them sold. No, i'm not dissing, I just want us to change. Please.

Explorers:
The streets of Las Vegas and Phoenix have been reduced to ghost towns as temperatures hit 118F and climbing during a punishing heat wave that has grounded planes and left door handles so hot they can leave people with burns.

Temperatures are predicted to reach 120F on the first day of summer in Phoenix, and the heat wave is threatening to bring the 'deadly' temperatures to several parts of Arizona, Nevada and California as well.

Las Vegas is likely to hit 117F on Tuesday, as excessive heat warnings cover almost all of California.

The National Weather Service has been forecasting Tuesday highs of 120F or above in Phoenix for the past several days, a number not seen in the desert city for more than 20 years.

'That's deadly heat no matter how you slice it,' weather service meteorologist Chris Breckenridge said.

American Airlines canceled more than 43 flights on Tuesday in Phoenix operated by regional jets because of the heat.

Officials say when the temperature soars, it's harder for airplanes to take off.


Phoenix topped out at a record high of 119F on Tuesday, although some unofficial thermometers like this one hit 120.

How many of explorers' posts have you seen that are based on Nigeria. On actual research?

Yes he has the natural interest and can be motivated to go beyond just copy and pasting to actually "researching" and discovering things and enlightening the rest of the world about Africa

You are right bro, sitting in one's comfort zone, copying and pasting isn't exploring.

Real exploring is when someone like me quit my job, acquire a DSLR camera, get a website, and start moving from one place to another to get informations and images.

Sometimes streets, villages, tourist attractions, old structures, hidden places from one town, city state, to another and country to country.

Its quite expensive, ive read profiles of successful adventurers, explorers, travel photographers.

They spent thousands of dollars on transportation, accommodation, food and visas to their destinations before getting their goal.

Most times you pay for capturing some images or getting informations.

Most people willing to be explorers cant afford this.

To avoid that, asuokaa made a suggestion that one can start small from local destinations or getting a job in an organization that can sponsor(BBC).

You hardly explore Nigeria, why? That's what I understand by starting small. How much will it cost you to visit Badagry slave museum or Olumo rock. We have nice waterfalls, beautiful landscapes, zoos, wold life, all these you can explore and people might want to accompany you on your adventures which you can earn money from by organizing trips and excursions, your excuses have been noted and discarded sad
