That day is significant as the temperature rose to 134 degrees, making it the hottest recorded day in history. The record stood until it was broken by Libya some years later in 1922. UPDATE: In December, 2012 the World Meteorological Society - the climate agency of the United Nations - threw out the Libyan reading as there was not sufficient evidence for it. Death Valley is now officially THE HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH!

And on the hottest day in the hottest place on earth on July 10, 1913 one of the founders of the nearby town of Rhyolite was driving through Death Valley. His car broke down in the sand dunes. He left the car and tried to walk out. He was soon dead - of dehydration. His name was Pete Bush.
