The hottest inhabited place on Earth is Dallol, a small town located in the Danakil Depression in northeastern Ethiopia. The town has an average temperature of 94°F (34.4°C) and it's also known for having some of the highest average annual temperatures on Earth.

The town is situated on the site of a former volcano and is home to hot springs, geysers, and salt canyons. The area's extreme heat is caused by a combination of its location below sea level, its proximity to the equator, and the fact that it's located in a desert region.

Dallol's extreme heat makes it a difficult place to live and work, but it has also become a popular tourist destination due to its unique geology and otherworldly landscapes.
