USA, caldo record nella Death Valley: la temperatura ha raggiunto 54,4°C.

Death Valley, UNITED STATES: Sand dunes near the village of Stovepipe Wells is pictured 19 November 2006. Death Valley, the largest national park in the US, comprises more than 3.3 million acres of desert wilderness. Anthropologists estimate that roaming humans first settled in Death Valley roughly 10,000 years ago. Some 2,000 years ago, native peoples lived along the edge of a 30-foot-deep-lake. In 1849, a group of gold rush pionneers entered the Valley, thinking it was a shortcut to California. After barely surviving the trek across the aera they named the spot "Death Valley". In the 1880's native peoples were pushed out by mining companies who sought the riches of gold, silver, and borax.

Situata nel deserto del Mojave, a ovest della città di Las Vegas, la Death Valley (Valle della Morte), come ha ricordato anche la BBC, detiene da oltre 100 anni il record per la temperatura più calda mai registrata sulla Terra: 56,7 gradi, nel luglio 1913
