Summary
[edit]
| Description |
For five out of seven years studied, the Lut Desert in Iran sweltered like no other place on the planet. In those years—2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009—the highest land surface temperature (LST) on Earth was found in the Lut Desert in Iran. The single highest LST recorded in any year, in any region, occurred there in 2005, when MODIS recorded a temperature of 70.7°C (159.3°F). To learn more and to download the full resolution and other files go to: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=77627&src=... To learn more about how scientists measure temperatures, read the Earth Observatory’s new feature: “Where is the Hottest Place on Earth?” The Earth Observatory's mission is to share with the public the images, stories, and discoveries about climate and the environment that emerge from NASA research, including its satellite missions, in-the-field research, and climate models. |
