These are the Deadliest Tourist Attractions on Earth

The Danakil Deser

Somehow, this desert is even more deadly than Death Valley. Located in Eritrea, North Africa, the Danakil Desert exhibits similar environmental temperatures to Death Valley, but the Danakil Desert is full of active volcanoes that cause geysers and bursts of toxic fluids to pop up just about everywhere. The Danakil Desert has been lovingly given the nickname “Hell on Earth,” but despite all the negatives, there is nowhere else on the planet that looks like this place. So, if you’re feeling up to it, you should absolutely visit the Danakil Desert, but exercise extreme caution at all times.
