The five coldest and the five hottest locations on Earth might become your favorite travel destinations.

The Hottest
Death Valley, California
Death Valley is known as one of the hottest places in the world for some time. The name of the location tells you everything you need to know about how hot it can get. Plus, the desert experiences extreme heat most of the year because it is over 200 feet below sea level. The hot air is allowed to swirl around because of the topography of the area. The second-highest temperature ever was recorded in this place at 134 degrees.


Al-Aziziyah, Libya
This stretch of desert is not far from Tripoli, and it is the place where the hottest temperature was ever recorded. This torturous temperature skyrocketed to a whopping 136 degrees in 1922. The geography of the area and the desert air make the area extremely hot all year long.

Dallol, Ethiopia
Dallol is almost 400 feet below sea level, and it has the highest average temperature in the world of 93 degrees. This means that it never cools down at night, and the hot air is allowed to collect in the valley because it is so far below zero.

Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok is the warmest city in the world because the humidity is regularly around 90%. The humidity alone makes the heat inhospitable to everyone, and the temperature routinely averages above 90 degrees in the summer. Plus, the average temperature for the entire year is over 80 degrees.

Dasht-e Lut, Iran
Surface temperatures in this area have been measured around 160 degrees, and it gets so hot in this area that the air is almost completely driest. Because this is the driest area in the world, nothing can live. Not even bacteria can survive in this location because of the scorching heat and lack of humidity.

The Coldest
Denali, Alaska
Denali is the tallest mountain in North America. People who want to summit this peak will find the conditions to be more than inhospitable. This mountain is considered the coldest mountain earth, and it regularly has temperatures around -40.

Oymyakon, Russia
This town is over 200 miles above the Arctic Circle and holds the record for the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere of -96.6 degrees. This small town still has residents who have braved the cold for generations, and it is a testament to the adaptability of the human race.

Vostok Weather Station, Antarctica
Vostok Weather Station, Antarctica, is located very close to the South Pole, where researchers can study the weather and conduct experiments in the extreme cold. The coldest temperature ever was recorded there at -128 degrees. It is not safe to go outside when studying at this station, and the weather is terrible for half the year that researchers are stuck there. It’s so cold they must wait for the summer to transfer researchers in and out of the facility.

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
You might not think that Mongolia is a place where it gets extremely cold during the year, but much of Mongolia sits on a high plateau. Winds sweep the high plateau throughout the year, and the city itself is considered the coldest capital in the world. The temperature rarely rises above zero in the winter.

Eureka, Canada
Eureka sits high in the Arctic Circle, where the frozen ocean allows you to hike and sled across the landscape. This location is so cold that it never gets above zero even in the summer. Imagine the sun shining all day long, even though it is -4 degrees outside.

This town is another testament to how the human race can adapt to its surroundings. It is also an excellent place to go if you would like to take tours with sled dogs that have adapted to extreme temperatures.
