If Death Valley isn't the hottest place on earth then it certainly is a close second. When you travel the miles of sand dunes you'll think you're in the Sahara Desert.

Return of the Jedi and other movies were partially filmed in this giant sand sauna. Probably because the land looks like something from bring your water. Apparently local park rangers are sick of tourists who don't bring enough water so they're leaving them to the vultures.
