hello everyone wuhi chenet here we set out towards the hottest spot on the planet the lot desert which is mostly inaccessible due to scorching temperatures Beyond human endurance and the lack of resources Like Water Mass has medium resolution imaging spectral radiometer installed on the aqua satellite recorded that the world's hottest land surface was in the lot desert where temperatures reached 70.7 degrees Celsius or 159.3 degrees Fahrenheit in 2005 located in the south east of Iran the distance from the northernmost tip to the southernmost tip of the lot desert is considered 480 kilometers and its distance from the westernmost tip to the easternmost tip is considered 320 kilometers this vast salt desert contains many mysterious spots like gandonberyan the hardest point on the planet where 70.7 degrees Celsius is measured from space a West Plateau covered with dark volcanic racks that are claimed to have no life on its surface NASA has measured surface temperatures there for several years and has repeatedly seen record numbers in this hell where the planet is cooked by the sun we will shoot images that we have never seen before our first stop is shatta the last town on our way built in an oasis in the west of the desert here life is normal thanks to the High Altitude now the temperature is about 37 degrees Celsius here and we have hundreds of kilometers to go and the temperatures will get even higher before entering the desert we see the hundreds of years old Trafford about Caravan Sarai which is now in ruins in this ad while the weather is so hot we find some water and put our scarf or sham off in the water National air conditioner so I put it on our head to reduce the temperature so we need to record the track of going to the desert there is a backup company which is following our GPS and our track and if something happened to us they immediately come to us the love desert is also recognized as one of the driest regions in the world it usually receives less than 30 millimeters of precipitation per year and this small amount of rain water flows down the surrounding Mountains for a short time and evaporates quickly there are many Salt Lakes that have dried up in the scorching heat unfortunately some migratory birds cannot find any shade they can take shelter in when they fly in this geography and they make a mistake they come to these salty lakes and drink salty water without knowing and they pay for this mistake with their lives this shows that nature has no joke and has no pity I don't know what kind of bird this is beyond recognizable let's go in order to move forward in the desert we lower the pressure of the time the tires of the car they shouldn't burst under rough terrain conditions we're just at the beginning of the road let's measure the soil temperature here 3.7 degrees Celsius 146.6 degrees Fahrenheit I don't know what will happen in a few hundred kilometers you see now that this Shadow is 45 degrees Celsius or 113 degrees Fahrenheit you're still early in the day foreign like this with these eyes like this if it is got hot it doesn't work after a difficult two-hour Journey Into the Heart of the desert we finally approached the central point this place has one of the lowest altities in the lot desert and is the second hardest spot after this point if you are going to stay outside for more than two minutes no part of our body should be exposed including our hands the first thing we did as soon as we got out of the vehicle at around 12 o'clock was to measure the temperature of the ground our infrared thermometer showed 66.9 degrees Celsius 66.3 degrees Celsius 68.2 degrees Celsius after only two minutes of laser thermometer measurement the device gives an error due to high temperature our immersion thermometer on the other hand shows 69.6 degrees Celsius our guide worried that we might get stuck in the sand and quickly cut off the vehicle I'm gonna pass these dunes and then I pick you up there because the car should be lighter towards the center of the desert the conditions are getting tougher there are codes out there which we have not seen anywhere before we need to be very careful near the Sandstone because we got to start immediately very careful and drive very good it's very hard to breathe here I'm actually very thirsty as you see the red line of the thermometer stuck to the top it's not moving can't measure it shows that it exceeds 50 degrees Celsius or 122 degrees Fahrenheit we also have a laser thermometer here it's no longer works at all giving an error message this is an immersion thermometer there is a temperature of 52 degrees Celsius or 125.5 degrees Fahrenheit here our guide says we will go further but even this geography does not allow us to breathe after opening the window it is like hair dry Mission it's really unbelievable the floor is like a pan on a stove the Ambiance is like an oven because we are pushing the boundaries here I was thinking that I would be relaxed when I opened the window but it is worse it's like the hot air squeezing those throughout air temperature and surface temperature are different concepts while the surface temperature indicates the values for the sand absorbing the Sun the air temperature indicates the values in the air at least 1.5 meters above the sand usually the surface temperature is higher than the air temperature all right because of this rock hey look my shoe is melted my feet feel like burning we're not in the hottest place yet our friends should just melt because of stepping on the ground this layer has slipped the ground is about 70 degrees Celsius or 158 degrees Fahrenheit but if you're not filming we protect our cameras from high temperatures in the refrigerator where we store our water otherwise they are constantly turning off star our part also became unusable from time to time my phone doesn't work even though I constantly repeal the 2-liter water bag I carry on my back all the time and drink water again and again I can't stop my thirst it is now 2 15 PM we are walking towards endless desert let's see how far we can walk the near west of the desert is a low altitude region with an altitude of up to 150 meters and is exposed to the strong winds wind versions form colored structures which are up to 150 meters high and can be seen in Rust for tens of kilometers the region is also home to your decks up to 75 meters high parallel ridges and other dual climatic formations although the wind is strong here the sand is almost scorching I have a hard time even standing up like this because the heat from the ground is burning my feet even though I'm wearing high-heeled sneakers I can feel the warmth temperature measurements are made in shaded areas by weather stations there's no working weather station here we will also provide some Shadow here in the shade near close where there are blowing winds we couldn't see the 52 degrees Celsius we saw Under the Sun one hour ago you see that the temperature is now 47.3 degrees Celsius 117 degrees Fahrenheit but innocent winds can turn into sandstorms later in the day winds also make our lips chapped and increase our thirst the sun rays reflected back from the sand make it difficult for us to see that's worse I feel like I'm blind there's so much light glasses are a very serious need it is really impossible to see around without them it also protects against sandstorms from the sides but this is not the hardest spot we haven't reached the hardest Point yet I think the temperatures are five to six degrees Celsius higher there after 50 degrees Celsius it becomes more difficult to withstand with each increasing degree it becomes impossible to hold metal objects and also some objects may melt the effect of a temperature increase from 50 to 51 degrees Celsius is very different from 30 to 31 degrees Celsius it pushes the limits of endurance as the hours progress the wind intensity increases these are size of a nighttime Sandstorm after landscape darkens under the red clouds it sounds like the Roar of the sea reaches everywhere you lie on the ground Motionless In despair this could be a sandstorm we can finally breathe a little in the coolness of the shade now we are going to get our food heated by the sand the temperature of 70 degrees Celsius coming from the ground makes our meal ready let's reduce the temperature of your body there you go we're resting in the shade it is around 3 30 PM it's like sun is absorbing all of our energy we are eating a local Iranian dish called Burma sepsi I'm stepping on a ground that perhaps humankind has never stepped on before it's an interesting feeling these depths of the desert are not visited much we are near the college you're seeing the walls of the colors it is quite hard and it's a big chunk now we are trying to return to camping site and we're very thirsty the water is gone the tracks started to disappear I cannot remember where this place is we've been walking for about three hours the sun has come down quite a bit the temperature began to lose its effect a little I think it's around 45 degrees Celsius or 113 degrees Fahrenheit now a desert is an endless rule everywhere you look there are thousands of Roads covered with sand but for those who do not know the direction there is only one here's some migratory Birds enter the desert they can't get out of the desert because of the intense seeds and by falling from the sky they contribute to the ecological balance which includes Grasshoppers and desert foxes finally we return and set up on a quick quest northward to Camp somewhere Shelter From the night storm [Music] as the weather cools enough to take off our heads at 7 30 PM the wind speed increases and we hope that a sandstorm will not occur luckily we're safe in this higher location enjoying the sunset before the big day tomorrow I've prepared a light trap to show you that there is life in the lot desert let's see which animals will come information on biodiversity in this region is limited but in addition to the barren vegetation in the North many species can also be seen including desert foxes snakes lizards Elyria spiders moths and red Wayne darters however it is specifically stated in many sources that no living creature lives in gandon barium the hottest region we will reach tomorrow at noon this tree is the napka tree as you can see there's a lot of sand on it because there are many sandstorms here and the tree collects the Sands at its root they're kind of growing together small ones of napka trees one of the few plant species that survive in the unfavorable location of the desert are everywhere the hills on which they stand will grow with them we're gonna go here volcanic Mountain volcanic area and here is this is a region where even those who go around with cameras for years have barely survived according to the written Legends towards the end of some Journeys that took weeks even the cameras would crawl on their knees with trembling legs the most realistic looking mirages always disorientated the adventurers have you ever come to London Marriott summer no it is very dangerous to come here in this season it's eight years that I'm doing in desert but this is the first time that I'm coming here in this season the weather is so hot and very hard is there anyone who comes here now there is no people doing this there are rumors that a caravan loaded with weed had to leave its loads on the ground and when they returned a few days later with racist camels to pick up the loads they found their wheat roasted Gundam barium means roasted wheat in Persian the surrounding sand dunes and mountains strap the hot air on the ground its low altitude reduces the chance of air rising and cooling the dark color of the volcanic cracks on its surface almost soaks up the sun on our way to gandonberry and we found two abandoned motorcycle wheels we have no idea what happened to the riders in this hell where the nearest settlement is Miles Away some tourists come here in the cool months like December January February but visiting the desert in June July August is regularly banned by the Iranian government we cannot go any further the sooner black and the temperature is so hot you stop here you stop here no more further 4K it is dangerous to go further so I require only two hours to film here because I need to investigate these storms how long can we keep here actually to be honest it is better to go to live here as soon as possible but if you want to do anything it is not my responsibility just go we go back there and we wait there for you you go and do whatever you want and go back in as soon as possible it is dangerous to stay here more you will go back now yeah we'll go back now it is very dangerous for the car to keep the car here as you see the stones are black and very hit and it may flat the tires or also the damage the engine so we go back there wait for you like only 200 meters maybe a little bit more yeah temperature is so hot and so I am trying to cool the radiator we are here exactly here like 300 or 400 meters to gandom here again we are not allowed to go further with car you can do this by working and this is this big hill is gandon burial you need to be careful take water with yourself and cover yourself completely because the weather is so dry even if your skin will be burned and you will be heated and your body will be dehydrated and you will die okay just be careful and take lots of water with yourself take one radio just in emergency cases which need to be with each other in touch be careful your shoes should be tight and the heat may be burn your shoes as well okay just please go back as soon as possible as soon as did your job go back okay and always should be in touch with radio just one group yes take the radio with yourself and be careful okay to be beat out and I don't know if it is not reality it is the reality it is dangerous the reality is dangerous go and go back soon and the time is the maximum temperature it's 12 until then you go back one hour later so one is the hottest time maybe two hours later thank you after this point no part of my body should be exposed anymore meanwhile since its initial analysis NASA has recently released a new version of its satellite software leading to the speculation that land surface temperatures in the love desert could be even higher now as resources from the bulletin of the American Meteorological Society an academic Journal pointed out in their publication in May 2021 it is thought that temperatures in love desert could actually reach as high as 80.8 degrees Celsius or 177.4 degrees Fahrenheit we left the meat on the castle of the car and settled our time and resources are limited so we have to be fast and organized guys can you hear me yes well I am going to give a report in every 10 minutes every 10 minutes there is no Shadow anywhere everywhere is covered with large and small stones and basalty graphs these stones are so hot that no hand can resist holding them oh it looks like hell a huge area more like the surface of Mars than Earth greeted us we feel like we have stepped on another planet we came to the hottest spot on our planet I can't believe it I don't know how long we can last here it's very hot everywhere I can feel the heat under my feet there's no place where I can take a step that's not black and the black stones are literally burning now you see the mountains these mountains actually go further look the place over there looks like it's on fire I don't know if you see the heat rising from the ground since it's surrounded by mountains mountains trapped hot air down here and the hot air cannot get out the color of the rocks and the bazaar structure naturally absorbs the sun's heat more the place is like hell now let's take a walk and measure the temperature the high temperature of the dry surface absorbs all the endurance and strength of a person as he or she takes his step even plants like Cactus don't grow here at all it is stated in many sources that no living thing can live on this place it is estimated that these Basalt remnants were formed as a result of magnetic activity that took place about 2 million years ago and ports were formed in the stones as a result of gas release in the lava we're about to unofficially make measure one of the highest temperatures ever measured on Earth leaving a person alone here means his or her death if our friends leave us there's no way we can get out of here we are in a place that is completely contrary to human nature there are many articles that say that no creature lives in Gundam area we are in the hottest place on Earth right now during the hottest period of the season and the hottest hour of today utilize my water very carefully now I will measure the temperature at a height of 1 meter from the ground and this measurement has to be done in the shade that's why we carry an umbrella with us this is not for ourselves there is wind here but just because it's windy doesn't mean it's cool at all since the wind blows like fire I can feel the scorching heat all over my body right now hands burning the camera is black you know every metal place we touch is like it's on fire there's a reason this umbrella isn't black I want this measurement to be fair my feet are like on fire really when you stand in a place and wait a little the feeling of warmth increases first let's measure the temperature on the ground it gives an error yes it can measure the temperature but it cannot be under the Heat we're going to keep the thermometer next to cold water cool it down a bit and try again I try to provide the shade for about a minute to make a fair measure I can't even speak this isn't working anyway it doesn't show anything it says iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it now we are going to measure the temperature under the sun because we don't have any shade here that's the temperature we feel nowhere to hide the sun mercilessly Sears where it Beams I have trouble speaking and I have a terrible header here all right it shows the air temperature 54.1 degrees Celsius or 129.4 degrees Fahrenheit let's measure the surface temperature with this guys it is 30 minutes and we are fine is everything okay there everything is okay here but the temperature getting high and high I can feel the intensity of the sun above me in all its Fury I can feel my heart rate increasing I'm shaking after spending an hour our bodies began to tremble I'm tired I have no more energy I have to pause a lot water water break the camera got so hot that I can't hold it for three seconds without gloves everything metal is scorching right now did you take your gloves off my hands shaking but the place where I touched camera red and hurting so bright without glasses I can never walk like this I am going to try something different now head already stay there I put it inside it's either oh my God I have to put on my gloves [Music] it's working come here 68.6 degrees Celsius 69.2 degrees Celsius we're getting pretty close to what NASA had measured [Music] is this a sandstone they're very frequent storms here [Music] there was a sandstorm just around here we were filming it I couldn't reply to you number that you are the only person who gets there in this season in this time now let's take a look at the temperature of this it doesn't work this is also broken yes this tip can withstand the heat but this part where the mechanism is located was also on the ground I guess it is broken because of the heat not durable gone laser thermometer gives an error doesn't work the liquid from the mercury thermometer stuck to the top the immersion thermometer is also broken shall we walk I'm skirting having your feet get burnt is they have considering that a cup of tea or coffee is sorted around 70 degrees Celsius or 160 degrees Fahrenheit it is not difficult to guess what the result of stepping on the ground Barefoot will be on 23rd of June we measure the surface temperature of 69.2 degrees Celsius or 156.5 degrees Fahrenheit the air temperature of 48.5 degrees Celsius or 119.3 degrees Fahrenheit and Under the Sun the air temperature of 54.1 degrees Celsius or 129.3 degrees Fahrenheit I left a phone on the ground if you remember when I picked it up from the ground I saw that the cheap plastic on its edges was burned but the middle bottom is fine when I put it on the ground the bottom side stayed up a little bit the edges start to the stone you see this side is burned too we encounter something we never expected to see the claim that there are no living things here does not reflect a throat I've experienced it here for the first time it's June and it's around 2PM and you see a subspecies of RMI filler it is also known as the praying mantis on among the people also I keep forgetting it how is the meat I put slice of meat there the front is kind of cooked the bag seems better it's so hot it's like I'm taking it out of the pan it also smells like it's cooked the middle needs to stay a little longer this is how much it can get cooked in two hours this is a surprise for you yes I'm surprised so we are debunking a myth then animals actually do live in Garden barrier our desert Expedition shows that melting car videos circulating on the internet during summer are also fictional even here car parts cannot melt in a day they may melt only in a week so the first minute because severely so hot as you see my hand is burned I brought some gloves yeah touch the steering wheel for first five minutes it will go out of here as soon as possible and we are at the end of a very hard documentary episode was here [Music]
