    Welcome to the coldest, highest, and hottest places in the world!

    The hottest country in the world


    How do people live in Mali, West Africa, where the temperature is often 50º?
    (degrees)

    John Baxter, a BBC journalist in Mali, says, ‘People get up


    very early and they don’t move very much in the afternoon.
    Surprisingly, they wear a lot of clothes (usually cotton) as this
    helps them not to get dehydrated.
    Houses are very hot and don’t have air conditioning – the best place to sleep
    is on the roof!’

    The highest capital city in the world


    La Paz in Bolivia is 4 090 meters above the sea level. It can be difficult to breathe because
    there isn’t much oxygen.
    Liz Tremlett, a travel agent who lives there, says, ‘When people
    arrive at El Alto airport we sometimes need to give them
    oxygen.’
    It is also the worst place to be if you drink too much beer. The
    next day you feel terrible because you get more dehydrated.
    But La Paz is a very good place to play golf. At this altitude,
    when you hit a golf ball it goes further.

    The coldest place in the world


    Can you imagine living in a place which is four times colder
    than your freezer? This is Yakutia in Siberia, where in winter it is
    often -50º or lower.
    Valeria Usimenko, a housewife, says, ‘After a few minutes outside
    your nose fills with ice. It snows a lot and there’s always a lot of
    ice and snow on top of the houses.
    The most dangerous(опасное) time is
    the spring – when the ice falls it can kill people!
    The winter is very boring because we can’t go out much. A lot of babies are
    born here in autumn!’
