The Danakil Desert, Eritrea: It's been called one of the most alien places on earth — a "gateway to hell" and, in the words of British explorer Wilfred Thesiger, a veritable "land of death." Baking temperatures that often top 120 degrees F (50 degrees C), numerous active volcanoes, geysers that spit toxic gases — it's hard to imagine a more brutal landscape than Africa's Danakil Desert. Most people would probably consider this terrible place a literal ''Hell on Earth'', but it still attracts lots of brave adventurers from all around the world. Just keep in mind that visiting the the Danakil Desert on your own, without an experienced guide, is strictly forbidden.
