What Is The Most Dangerous Place On Earth?

what is the most dangerous place on earth most of us live nice calm and peaceful lives in places that are comfortable and supplies with everything we need to survive but in other parts of the world unknown to most of us there are dangerous places that no human would dare venture into from dangerous searing hot deserts super volcanoes and lava lakes to the icy deep freeze of the north and south pole we take a look at some of the most extreme and dangerous places known to humans so stick around and enjoy as we find out which one of these places is the most dangerous on earth Danakil desert in Ethiopia also including that Dalal depression has many different names like hell on earth or the gateway to hell it is the hottest place on earth stretching across 136 thousand nine hundred fifty-six square kilometers about 53 thousand square miles it is a desolate hot volcanic and arid terrain rain rarely falls here and if it does it's less than an inch in a year the average temperature is 34 Celsius and can reach 50 degrees Celsius during the daytime that's 122 degrees Fahrenheit it is a harsh but hauntingly beautiful geographic wonder of salt flats and volcanoes the area was created when the tectonic plates of Africa moved away from Asia and has a number of lakes borne by lava flows that dammed up several valleys to top it all off there is a vast and continually active basaltic shield volcano called al 50 kilometres wide and rising more than 600 meters from the low sea level it has layers of underground lava flowing outward underneath the ground however even though the land here is unforgiving and treacherous Ethiopian salt miners make a long two-day track with their camels through this wasteland to collect salt slabs and have been doing so for hundreds of years while this sounds like it could easily be called the most dangerous place on earth there are others it might surprise you that the earth has about 1,500 potentially active volcanoes and that doesn't include the continuous belt of volcanoes that are active on the ocean floor the planet is constantly changing mount Sinabung in Indonesia is a perfect example of a very dangerous place to be it is a stratovolcano which means that it's a composite conical volcano like the ones you always see in movies but this one is real and it's very active superheated ash and gas flowing down the slopes of cinnabon have been sending warning signs that it was about to erupt and recently it did yet despite this people are still living around this volcano seemingly disregarding the danger it poses this Sinabung volcano recently erupted on February 19th 2018 which completely annihilated the peak of the mountain it shot a towering plume of toxic ash 4.3 miles into the sky literally blowing away most of the summit and showering the nearby villages with small rocks but deserts and volcanoes are not the only danger to life located deep in the heart of Siberia which lies thousands of miles east of Moscow there is a Russian village called ome icon which has the lowest recorded temperature in the world for an inhabited location it is the coldest inhabited town on the earth with about 500 people living here temperatures here have dropped to minus 71 degrees Celsius that's minus ninety six point two degrees Fahrenheit in fact it is so cold here that mobile phones won't work in the freezing weather most cars will refuse to operate nothing can be grown here and the residency mostly reindeer meat and if you think that's cold even alcohol will start to freeze solid in this forbidden and frozen wasteland the day lasts just three hours here in the winter and twenty-one hours in the summer but there is no summer weather here the ground is permanently frozen it is so cold here than if you were to step outside without any protection you would freeze in less than one minute life is tough here and if you plan a trip here keep in mind that om Yukon has no hotels or restaurants and overnight visitors must arrange home stays with local residents one might wonder why people would live in such a dangerous place on earth as it turns out this location has a strong Diamond train which gives it a diverse and healthy economy when it comes to the most dangerous place on the earth Yellowstone Wyoming just might be the place underneath Yellowstone National Park lies a supervolcano which would be a thousand times more powerful than a regular volcano years ago scientists said that the odds of this super volcano erupting would be fairly low times have changed since then and with new technology some startling things have been found an international team of geologists found thousands of miles of red-hot magma is waiting to burst from the world's most dangerous volcano the volcano has laid dormant for 70,000 years with many saying that a large eruption could never happen here until now the 11,000 cubic miles of magma is sitting in underground reservoirs which act like sponges pulling the magma in and these pockets of magma are getting ready to burst into the atmosphere the devastation would be unlike anything modern society has witnessed when it comes to natural disasters and this would be a big one the deeper magma body sits 12 to 28 miles below the surface and it's believed that the hot molten rock could fill the one thousand cubic mile Grand Canyon 11 times that much magma and ash spewing into the air could literally block out sunlight and trigger a nuclear winter or a mini ice age super eruptions don't happen on our earth often as it takes millions of years for the magma to build up enough pressure the last time the Yellowstone volcano erupted was six hundred forty thousand years ago and it's anyone's guess when the supervolcano will finally burst if it were to erupt the supervolcano could release a ten-foot or three meter layer of molten ash 1,000 miles 1609 kilometers from Yellowstone National Park and would be 1,000 times more powerful than the mount st. Helens eruption in 1980 there are actually many dangerous places on the earth each one of them with their own hazards and some more dangerous than others in the future we may even discover other places on the earth we don't know about or some cataclysmic event like a super volcano erupting could very well happen in our lifetime we live on an ever-changing planet that may become more dangerous as time goes on we hope you enjoyed this video what do you think is the most dangerous place in the world let us know what you think in the comments below and if you really like our videos then click the subscribe button and get notified when we release a new one we really appreciate you and work hard to provide you with awesome videos want to see something we haven't produced let us know in the comments and thanks for watching [Music] [Music]
