The warmest place on Earth is the Lut Desert in Iran, where surface temperatures have been recorded exceeding 159 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius). This extreme heat is due to the desert's geographical features, such as its dark volcanic rock and lack of vegetation, which absorb and retain heat. Other contenders for high temperatures include Death Valley in California and the Sonoran Desert in Mexico, but the Lut Desert holds the record for the highest surface temperature.
