Earth's Hottest Spot: Dallol Where Winter Never Arrives

  • Dallol, Ethiopia, is Earth's hottest place, with winter temperatures never falling below 30-35°C.
  • It holds the record for the highest average annual temperature (34.6°C), with summers soaring to 49°C.
  • Its "Mars-like" landscape in the Danakil Depression glows with surreal colors from chemical reactions of sulfur, iron oxide, salt, and potash.
  • The area is extremely dangerous due to highly acidic hydrothermal pools (pH zero or lower) and toxic gases.
  • Once an Italian mining center, Dallol is now an abandoned ghost town due to its uninhabitable conditions.

Why It Matters: Dallol, Ethiopia, is Earth's hottest, most extreme, and uninhabitable place, where winter never arrives.
