Man, even the name sounds ominous. This location gets almost zero rain during the year and is one of the hottest places on earth. And sitting 410 feet below sea level, makes it one of the most depressed and depressing, places on earth.

The lack of rain and volcanic nature of the land leaves a geological rarity, with active volcanoes, sulphur springs, black lava flows and salt basins filled with colourful minerals.

This is probably what other planets look like.
