The most lifeless place on Earth has been named

The most lifeless place on Earth is located in Ethiopia, media reports citing research data.

As noted, this is the Dallol geothermal field, which is located in the Danakil Depression. There are basically no forms of life there. Under the depression is a volcanic crater saturated with salt.

According to scientists, there is no place in the world with more extreme conditions. For example, during the day the temperature reaches 45 degrees, while boiling water appears on the surface, and toxic gases are released from the soil. There are also hyperacid pools in the region, where pH values ​​can even be negative.

Previously, it was believed that there could be some organisms in this place. However, a study by a group of scientists from France and Spain showed that there is absolutely no life in this place.
