These are the 5 Most Dangerous Deserts in the World

INDONEWTRAVEL.COM - The world's most dangerous deserts are so hot or so cold that it is difficult for humans to survive for long.

When we hear the word desert, of course what comes to mind is a vast expanse of desert and extreme weather: hot during the day and cold at night. This condition alone shows how dangerous the area is. Well, what about the most dangerous desert in the world?

Deserts are areas on the plains of the earth that have very little rainfall (ie less than 250 mm per year), have very dry air, and because of that almost no plants or living things can live in deserts.

There are only a few types of plants that can live in the desert. Namely, plants that can survive with very little water. For example cactus or other thorny plants. While only a few animals can adapt and live in desert areas. Some examples are insects and snakes.

From the few living things that can adapt to this environment, it certainly makes the desert one of the most dangerous places in the world. Well, below are the 5 most dangerous deserts in the world
