      I think Antarctica.

      Antarctica is home to some extreme weather conditions, with the mercury regularly dropping below -60 degrees Celsius (-100F) and winds tearing in at more than 100km/hr. If exposed to this weather for more than an hour, you will most certainly die. Antarctica has no hospitals, no food to forage and if you get lost, not a lot of hope. Stay with the tour groups. At least there is a McDonald’s at Scott Base if you manage to find it.

      I’m with Sean. Antarctica is regularly among the top 10 most dangerous places on Earth but is usually the only one not affected by war or violence. The only people who live on Antarctica are the scientists who are there to research it. There has NEVER been a native population there which shows you just how unhospitable and dangerous a place it is.

      The other extreme is the centre of the volcano getting up to 15oo deg C!
