Badlands, Australia

From series “The Hottest Places in the World”
Badlands is a desert region in Australia that didn’t differ with temperature records. As that’s uninhabitable wasteland, it hasn’t been studied for a long time. Extensive investigation of this area began only after 2000, and a new record of global significance didn’t keep waiting long. In 2003, the air temperature at Badlands warmed up to 69.3°C; data was provided by NASA satellite.

Scientists believe this data to be quite logical, because Australia is the driest continent and the most deserted place on the planet. In 2003, El Niño convulsion largely contributed to achieving record temperature. Scientists suggest that abnormally high temperatures occur in the desert quite often. Badlands area is unsuitable for living, that's why it has got such a self-explanatory name. It’s important to note that desert regions alike are found in a variety of countries, including the United States and Spain, but the hottest of them is situated in Australia. Next - Tirat Zvi
