The Hottest Inhabited Place On Earth (Doesn’t Look Quite Like You’d Think)
Source: All That Is Interesting
With summertime temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit on average (not to mention the nearby volcano and hot springs), Dallol, Ethiopia is consistently the hottest inhabited place on earth. The landscape, however, is not exactly the quintessential desert one would expect. The arid stretches of tan and red are interrupted by patches of otherworldly greens, yellows, whites and blues. While, at a quick glance, the whites look like snow and the blues look like ponds, the truth helps explain why Dallol is far more forbidding than even the average desert: the whites (and yellows) are salt cones formed by geysers and the blues (and greens) are acid pools.

The classic 3D cube? Easy. Terrifying skulls that push through the paper, stretching its surface as if it was Saran Wrap? Somewhat more difficult. In fact, Jerameel Lu, a 24-year-old artist from the Philippines who finds time to draw amongst his long days as an engineer, estimates that each of his positively haunting drawings takes about one full working day to complete. With subtle yet vivid shadowing and detail, Lu’s meticulous craftsmanship clearly pays off. See more of the collection at Bored Panda.
