Lut desert a magnificent landscape 

 Lut  desert ( lut Kavir) is a geologically a depression. On the other word it is a low land. lowest elevation using Google Earth indicates 109 meter above sea level. But I heard from my geography teachers at Tehran university that in some  ravines they plotted a trench which only has 75 meter above sea level. So by combination of very low land plus precipitation below 100 mm , its distant from sea and very bare soil (mostly sand and clay with no vegetation at all for kilometers) , we come to conclusion that we just discovered the hottest place on earth. 

 The image was created from data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite, which flies overhead at about 1:30 p.m. local time, close to the hottest part of the day. MODIS records land surface temperatures, which reflect how hot the ground is to the touch.

The single highest land skin temperature recorded in any year of the study was found in the Lut Desert in 2005 and measured a stunning 159.3 F (70.7 C). Lut had the highest surface temperature in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2009 as well.
