Description
Death Valley National Park, California, is famous as the hottest place on earth, and the driest and lowest place in North America. In July 1913, five consecutive days of 129°F or above were recorded in Death Valley. On July 10, 1913 a reading of 134 degrees Fahrenheit was taken, the world record hottest air temperature.
I was ready for the air to be hot, which it was. What I wasn't ready for was the ground temperature! Hot air rising up from the sand is almost visible! The highest ground temperature recorded was 201° F at Furnace Creek (not far from these dunes) on July 15, 1972.
