Walla system! Tourism
20/12/2019True, some of the following can be reached, and even relatively easily. But in the list of the ten most extreme places in the world, you will also find wind-swept spaces, rainfall, or scorching weather that no normal tourist will ever set foot on. And we haven't even talked about the most secluded island in the world, which awaits (non-arriving) visitors, in the South Pacific.

The space here looks like a star on Mars - a yellow-orange landscape, a kind of bubbling pot of sulfur and fiery salt. And if that's not enough, it's worth noting that next to the Dallol volcano, located in the area, there are several springs. But forget about baptism: it's hot and even toxic.

Weststock Station, Antarctica: The coldest
Vostock Station is an isolated Russian research station located in eastern Antarctica, the coldest place on earth. In the old station, established in Soviet times, in July 1983, extreme temperatures of minus 89.2 degrees Celsius were measured. This is the lowest temperature recorded using a weather station.

Death Valley, United States: Hottest
Death Valley, California, is the hottest place on Earth on average. It's so hot here that tourists visiting this national park usually have fun frying eggs on the ground. The highest temperatures recorded here were 54 degrees (June 2013).

The dry valleys, Antarctica: the driest
Apparently, the driest place in the world is not the Sahara but the "dry valleys" of the Antarctic continent. This area has not rained in about two million years, making it the driest place on earth. In the area, which rises to 4,053 meters above sea level, the air is so dry that even snow is hardly falling here. Naturally, this is probably also the quietest region on earth.
By the way, until this region is meteorologically documented, the Atacama Desert in Chile is considered the most dry place in the world. Here, the frequency of rainfall has been four times in the last forty years. That's also why NASA decided it would be the place to test the space vehicle sent to Mars.

Mausinram, India: Rainiest
The village of Mawsynram in India is the wettest place on earth. In fact, if such an annual amount of rain had come down in Rio de Janeiro, it would have caused the water level to cross the lap of the famous statue "Jesus Redeemer", which stands at the top of a mountain above the city.
The village, in the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India, is located at 1,430 meters above sea level and receives an annual rainfall of 11,860 mm.

Aomori, Japan: The most snowy
One of the scariest things you can do in Aomori, Japan is to just drive. The reason: It is the most snowy place in the world, and the driving on the roads is sometimes reminiscent of giant glaciers.
And in general, it's worth noting that as a country, Japan as a whole is considered the most snowy in the world. Every year, the northern city of Aumori receives an average annual volume of 792.5 cm. Most of the snow falls in November-April.

Mount Everest: Highest
No extreme list would be complete without the world's highest mountain (8,848 meters above sea level). Everest is so high that at its summit, three breaths of air are required to receive oxygen to the same extent as one sea level breath.
Once you cross the 8,000-meter barrier, enter the area known as the "realm of death." The atmospheric pressure here is about one third of that on the ground.

Kilawan Volcano, Hawaii: Most Active
Only a few volcanoes in the world are considered active, but the Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii is considered the most active on earth. Scientists even predict that it may erupt again soon. This mountain has been erupting in silences (silent eruptions), almost continuously since 1983.

Commonwealth Bay, Antarctica: Most "Spiritual"
Commonwealth Bay winds blow at a speed of 240 km / h, making the area the most wind-swept space in the world, as stated by Guinness Book of World Records and National Geographic Atlas.
The strongest winds blow regularly during the winter season and their average speed is 80 km / h. Naturally, they also freeze radically. If you want a hint of this feeling, try to reach second place on the index with the fastest winds: Mount Washington , United States.

Boba Island, the Atlantic: most secluded
Bouvet is an uninhabited island in the South Atlantic Ocean, which belongs to Norway. He holds the title of "the most secluded place in the world", because the number of visitors there is minimal. Reason: It's just far from anywhere else. The closest place is the Queen Maud Land of Antarctica, 1,160 km away.
