    Volcano goes active: People: "We came to see how the lava feels"
  • @nathandodge665
    Yeah a biker died there yesterday. And it was too hot to fly a helicopter in there to save him.
  • @collinsfriend1
    WELL.... They'd better be prepared. 130F is a temperature that makes Beef Jerky...
  • @hlw1306
    Scary to drive to nowheresville to be in that heat because if something goes wrong with the car, you can die.

    I was at Palm Springs in the summer and it was 115 degrees a German tourist wanted to know how to get to Death Valley, I asked him WHY he wanted to go there, he said to experience the heat.
  • @dave9351
    Can anyone imagine attempting to change a flat tire on your car in that heat :face-fuchsia-tongue-out:. ??????
  • @floydbrennan9789
    Uh, there's a reason why they call it Death Valley and also a reason why that visitor center is called Furnace Creek... 🥵🥵

    It would be cheaper to go to the laundry mat with a dumb friend, crawl into a large-capacity dryer, and put it on the high setting. You could take turns putting quarters in until someone cries, Uncle.

    Fascinating that only one person dressed in white clothing.

    My family and I visited two years ago in late June. It was 130 degrees at death valley. It felt like stepping out into a furnace. Dried both your skin and hair out in minutes. I'm glad I got to see death valley but once was enough.

    It's dumb to expose yourself to those temperatures.
  • @Bluesit32
    It's stuff like this that makes me marvel at how we've survived this long as a species.
  • @sjenkins91812
    You'd have to be a special kind of pre-cooked to willingly walk into an open furnace, let alone pay for it.

    Some motorcyclist died yesterday in DV from heat related illnesses. Here in Las Vegas today it was 120F at the airport, cooler at my house on the west side that is at least 500 feet higher in elevation 115 according to my thermometer. That is the sort of day, that I close the shutters and stay inside until after sunset. It is foolish to be outside if one does not have to be.

    Darwin Award gathering at Death valley.
  • @lucky1u
    You can't even keep the car cool with ac on max when it's that hot out. Driving there would be miserable.

    I need to dig into my photo archives when i worked at stovepipe wells (from March 99 through Dec 99) and it was 131 in the shade, and snowed that year. Did that get erased from history? Glad i keep at my photos and pictures from back then
