Weather extremes...

COLD:
With a location near the magnetic South Pole and at 3,500 meters above sea level, it is always cold at this Russian weather station, Vostok. But never as cold as it was the 21st of July 1983. That day was the coldest temperature ever measured on Earth, as the temperature fell to minus 89.2 degrees Celsius.


HOT:
Dasht-e Lut, Libya
In 2004 and 2005, the surface temperature of this desert plateau was measured to be above 70 degrees Celsius. The heat and the drought has created the world's driest area, where nothing can live, not even bacteria.

Not true, they have found bacteria living in the 600 degree water coming out of the thermal hot spots along the Atlantic and Pacific sea rises.

You are correct that bacteria have been found in extreme temperatures but the issue is water. As far as we know, all life requires water and if that desert is so dry that there is never any moisture then that is the reason even bacteria can't exist there.

can i send my X wife to either of these places
