The post 3 of the Flattest Places in the World appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>Salar de Uyuni
The largest salt flat in the world is located in Bolivia and it’s really big, approximately the size of Jamaica! The thick salt covers it completely so the horizon looks mesmerizing. Below all that salt is the world’s largest lithium reserve, which is the stuff your phone and laptop batteries are made of.
Danakil Desert
The locals call it the “Gateway to Hell” and it’s not difficult to guess why. The temperatures in the Ethiopian Danakil Desert often go over 50°C (122°F), which makes it the hottest place on Earth, in addition to being one of the flattest. As if that’s not enough, the place is known for hostile tribes, earthquakes, volcanoes, and geysers.
(@travelingtheworldwithromaine)The Maldives
The flattest country on Earth, the Maldives, is a paradise in many people’s opinion. The island chain (consisting of 1,192 coral islands!) only rises up to 1.5m above sea level, but the bad news is that the rising sea level is a threat to its existence.

]]>Danakil Desert, Eritrea
Boiling temperatures of nearly 50°C, numerous active volcanoes and toxic gases. It’s hard to imagine an environment as brutal as the Danakil Desert in Africa. Many people call this place “Hell on Earth,” but it still attracts brave adventurers. Visiting this wilderness without an experienced guide is strictly forbidden.
Snake Island, Brazil
Hidden off the coast of Brazil, the island is home to the world’s most venomous snakes. Herpetologists say that there are 5 snakes per square meter on average. The Brazilian government has banned access to the island after several deaths were reported.
Lake Natron, Tanzania
This lake may look like it belongs to some other planet, but this is actually Lake Natron in Tanzania. The alkaline salt on the lake’s surface is so toxic that any living creature that comes in contact with it will die. For obvious reasons, swimming in this lake is strictly forbidden and the horrible smell of hydrogen sulfide will not allow you to enjoy the beautiful scenery anyway.
