So i've watched planet earth's chapter on deserts lately.
They said that the highest tempratures could get up to 70 degrees in the most extreme. So yeah, i was pretty skeptical about that (They could not possibly mean 70 Fahrenheit because that is only 21 Celcius)
I searched for the hottest places on earth, and also in the documentary itself it says that death valley is one of the hottest reaching something around 56 Celcius.
One article i found suggest that "the surface upon which the creatures live (lizards) can get as hot as 70 degrees celcius". So that would just mean the heat of let's say 50 degrees heats up the sand to 70 degrees?
Can anyone shed light on this for me, internet is not helping at all =p
