Visiting the World's Hottest Place (70°C, 159°F) LUT DESERT

I'm at the hottest point on the planet; Lut Desert, which is in Iran. The highest surface temperature ever recorded here is 159.3°F (70.3°C)
Hottest point of Lut Desert (salt desert) is called Gandom Beryan, which means "roasted wheat'' in Persian. Various sources claim that there are no living creatures in this place, no animals can pass over Gandom Beryan. In our expedition, we are pushing our boundaries for new discoveries.

This place is different from Furnace Creek, California or Death Valley. A heat wave in this geography is the worst.

NASA's medium resolution imaging spectroradiometer installed on the Aqua satellite recorded that the world's hottest land surface was in the Lut Desert, where temperatures reached 70.7°C (159.3°F) in 2005.

Located in the southeast of Iran, the distance from the northernmost tip to the southernmost tip of the Lut Desert is considered 480 km and its distance from the westernmost tip to the easternmost tip is considered 320 km.
This vast salt desert contains many mysterious spots. Like Gandom Beryan: The hottest point on the planet where 70.7°C is measured from space.

Came here after watching your world coldest place. YouTube suddenly recommended this

[VictorManyengavana]

it was my pleasure to be your guide in this trip

One of the best documentaries in the world, you do your job very well my friend. A channel that definitely deserves over 10 million subscribers.

[Sotebolikurac]

Just realised how amazing this channel is. Being able to prove that there actually IS life in a place such as Gandom Beryan must feel like a great accomplishment!

[hesambagheri]

I have visited here with a professional crew once and the leader told us a lot of people died here even with best offroad cars. The danger and feeling is even worse that whats shown here. Salute to you and your amazing crew for making this

[Mr.Piece]

Special thanks to the Camera man for filming, enduring and not even complaining about the heat👏🏻

[sleddrivah]

People putting their lives on the line just to give others education is so amazing I don't even know how to put it further into words. Thank you for making this journey and showing us all how amazing our world truly is!

From -70° to 69.7° this guy's a legend

[justiceneeded]

This is absolutely insane. I had no idea this place even existed. It is literally like a different planet. God bless every brave member of the crew that made this video possible to share with the world!!

[dimakonax]

Some of the nicest people i ever met was people from Iran ! God bless the people of Iran

[Elrond_Hubbard_]

I was really liking the video, but when you started referencing actual meteorological academic journals to explain the possible temperature misread from the NASA satellite, well that's when I fell in love with the video.

Subbed!

[efedogru]

You went to the hottest part after the coldest part of the world. Thanks for this incredible content.

[someguyontheinternet]

You and your team are so brave for risking your safety to inform us of interesting places thank you Ruhi

I was a tanker in the Corps. The summers in Iraq were very hot (usually between 115°and 120°F). Inside the tanks were even hotter. Our thermometer (inside the tank) read 130°F before. At the end of the day our flight suits would basically stand up on their own because they were covered in salt from our sweat... fun times. He's so right about wearing sunglasses. Even looking down at the sand would burn your face.

Part of me misses the desert though. During the night it would cool down, and the sky was beautiful. You could see so many stars, and on very clear nights, you could see the center of the galaxy... it was breathtaking.

Went to see this video after watching your video about the worlds coldes village, i must say that i really respect the grind. Your videos have become so much better and smoother, and your english has improved dramastically. Your pronunciation is basically flawless in your later videos!

[darkobojovic]

This guy is so amazing and underrated! Makes by far the best documentaries in the world. Keep up the good work, man! 👏

[pjasonq]

After watching this video I realized how much of a dedicated independent film maker you are. You are crazy to endure those hot temperatures!

[Rotzfresh]

My Iranian friend told me that she made a desert tour in Iran and that they also slept there during the night. She said it was like being on another planet. So quiet and mysterious. Kind of magical. I'd love to go there and see it with my own eyes :)

[LoveMusic-pdiz]

I saw what you filmed and yet, it is hard to imagine. I went to Death Valley in California when it was 122 F and could barely breathe when walking around, so where you went is hard to compare, hard to imagine. I am so glad you had guides who knew what they were doing. Thank you for your work in producing and sharing your documentaries.

[cheonlaxy]

This is a well -filmed to documentary. Like I can really feel the hot coming out from the video. This is amazing. Kudos to you and your whole crew for all the effort and time you put into this.
