00:00Only true adventure enthusiasts and experts dare to climb the K2 mountain, and even for them, it is not certain that they will come back safe and sound.

00:09This summit is located in the middle of the Karakoram massif, in northern Pakistan.

00:14It is the second summit to have been misreleased to an expedition conducted in 1956, that is why it bears this strange name.

00:23The K2 mountain culminates at 8,535 meters above sea level.

00:29This is in fact the second highest mountain on the planet, just after Mount Everest.

00:34It is also one of the most dangerous places.

00:37K2 is the most formidable of the five highest mountains in the world, with a death rate of 4 people during the ascent.

00:44Avalanches, violent storms and steep slopes make K2 the most difficult mountain to climb on the planet.

00:51The air there is extremely rarified.

00:53You will only find a third of the oxygen present at sea level.

00:57Storms can last several days and cause huge problems.

01:01K2 is perhaps a little less high than Everest, but it is much more difficult to climb because of its relief.

01:08Everest has plateaus, while K2 is only escarpment from start to finish of the ascent.

01:14At an altitude of 7,315 meters, the terrain is a little flat, but the fall of stones and the unpredictable weather conditions make this area particularly dangerous.

01:28Everest may be bigger, but K2 is considered the deadliest.

01:32Everest has some popular routes, such as the South Coast and the North Strait.

01:36K2, on the other hand, has no easy access route.

01:40Even the simplest routes are actually super steep, with an average of 45 degrees from the base to the top.

01:46If Everest has places where climbers can relax, K2 is only rough.

01:53The K2 camps are tiny compared to those of Everest, and things are still getting tougher as you climb.

02:00On Everest, it happens that mountaineers take off their helmets in the least difficult areas.

02:05But on K2, protecting your head is absolutely essential from one end to the other.

02:10Rockfall, avalanche, safety above all.

02:13And let's not even talk about rescues on this mountain.

02:16The rocky terrain makes it difficult to recover an injured climber.

02:20Helicopters are not a common currency in the region, and if you manage to get one, it will cost you an arm.

02:26Everest, in comparison, is quite welcoming.

02:29These Nepalese climbers are very important on Everest, but not so much on K2.

02:34Sherpas are in a way the superheroes of the Himalayas.

02:37They allow climbers to progress faster.

02:40But on K2, expeditions are more lonely.

02:43Now let's talk about dangerous areas.

02:46The icefall of Khumbu, on Everest, is very dangerous, but the K2's strangling gull is even more.

02:52It is higher, which makes it much more risky.

02:55And the bottom line is that there have been years when no one has been able to reach the top of K2.

03:00This is not the case on Everest.

03:02The success rates there are much higher.

03:07The first expedition to this famous summit dates from 1902 and was the work of a team of climbers.

03:12But they only arrived at an altitude of 6,523 meters.

03:16It was only in 1954 that an Italian team, accompanied by a Pakistani climber, managed to conquer K2.

03:23And it was not an easy feat.

03:25In August 2022, only about 700 people had managed to reach the summit.

03:30At least 91 people lost their lives trying their luck on these slopes.

03:37Now let's move on to other super dangerous places on the planet.

03:40Like the Danakil depression in Ethiopia.

03:43At first glance, we would think we were on another planet, on Mars.

03:46These landscapes are made up of burning salt, volcanic rocks, and sulfuric acid.

03:51All in yellow and orange tones.

03:54The springs near the Dalol, one of the many volcanoes in the region, are very uninviting.

03:59Scientists have recently examined samples taken in these basins in the hope of finding signs of life.

04:05Without success.

04:07The levels of DNA in these sources are practically non-existent.

04:10The Danakil depression is therefore one of the least suitable places for life on our planet.

04:19Then we have the Death Valley, in California.

04:22It is one of the hottest places on Earth.

04:24You can cook eggs there, directly on the stone.

04:27The highest temperature ever recorded by a meteorological station in this region?

04:3256 ° C in 1913.

04:34But there is an even hotter place on the planet.

04:37This is the Lout desert, in Iran.

04:40A NASA satellite measured a temperature of 70 ° C in 2005.

04:45The heat there is so intense that the birds that cross the region sometimes fall from the sky, exhausted.

04:52Let's go from heat to humidity, and let's go to a village called Mozin Ram, in India.

04:57This place breaks all precipitation records.

05:00It rains so much every year that if you transport the Christ the Redeemer from Rio de Janeiro.

05:05This huge statue is 30 meters high, from the head to the knees.

05:10This village is located in the hills of Kasi.

05:13It falls, and is 6 centimeters from the ground.

05:18This is equivalent to 39 bags of cereals stacked on top of each other.

05:24Next stop, La Oroya.

05:26Life in this city in the center of Peru is really difficult for its 25,000 inhabitants.

05:31The air is full of dangerous substances.

05:33Arsenic, lead, and sulfur dioxide.

05:36The acid rains destroy the plants there.

05:39In La Oroya, there is a metallurgical plant.

05:42It makes gold, silver, and cadmium.

05:44This plant is the main supplier of employment in the city.

05:47But in 2007, experts declared that this place was one of the most polluted on the planet.

05:52Legends Travelander could sign the environs and improve life in this city.

06:00Tristan da Cunha, in the South Atlantic, is the most isolated place on the planet.

06:04It is a tiny archipelago that has only 246 inhabitants.

06:08There is no place to land a plane.

06:12If you want to visit or leave the island, you have to take a boat.

06:15You have to count six days of travel from South Africa, at a distance of about 2,500 kilometers.

06:22Vanuatu, an island in the Pacific, is probably the most dangerous place to live.

06:28You would lead a life on the razor's edge, avoiding volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis every day.

06:35The World Risk Index of the United Nations classifies this place as the most dangerous place on the planet.

06:42Satellite data indicate that the sea level around Vanuatu has risen by about 6 millimeters each year since 1993.

06:50In addition, in April 2020, the island was hit by the most violent tropical cyclone, Harold, in five years.

06:57These winds reached a speed of 250 kilometers per hour.

07:02We are now going to talk about a place where people live literally crammed into each other.

07:07In Manille, in the Philippines, it is estimated that there are 46,846 inhabitants per square kilometer.

07:13If Manille is so populated, it is because of the economic growth of the city over the last 50 years,

07:19mainly thanks to its port, in full swing.

07:22More money and more jobs mean more people coming.

07:26And with the people comes pollution and bottling, which make life in Manille a real journey of the fighter.

07:32And finding a place to stay in Manille, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

07:37The lack of housing still adds to the chaos.

07:44Yakutsk, in Russia, holds the title of the city with the lowest winter temperatures.

07:49In 1891, they dropped to 64 degrees Celsius.

07:53In 1891, they dropped to 64 degrees Celsius.

07:57But this is not the coldest place on the planet.

08:00The eastern plateau of the Antarctic holds this record, with 94 degrees Celsius.

08:06If Yakutsk is the coldest city in the world, it is for several reasons.

08:10First of all, it is far from the sea and does not benefit from the influence of the oceans.

08:15Secondly, the high pressure attracts the glacial air of the Arctic during the winter.

08:19The sunlight is rare in Yakutsk during the cold season.

08:23The city rests on a continuous permafrost, which means that the ground is always frozen.

08:28About 355,000 people live in Yakutsk.

08:32What is surprising is that the temperatures reach summits in summer.

08:37In July, the average temperature reaches 26 degrees Celsius, more than in London in the same season.

08:43A really weird climate, isn't it?
