The Atacama Desert is considered one of the most dangerous deserts due to its extreme aridity and harsh environmental conditions. It receives very little rainfall, making water scarcity a significant threat to survival. Additionally, the high temperatures during the day can lead to heat-related illnesses, while nights can be extremely cold, posing risks of hypothermia. The desert's remote location and rugged terrain also complicate rescue efforts for those who become lost or injured.
