Furnace Creek, Death Valley: the site of the highest officially recorded air temperature on Earth. Now imagine you have to stay.
The door is just 100 feet away. At 125°F, would you know when that short walk becomes dangerous? Would you trust the wind, the shade, or your own body? What do the people who live here know that you don’t? And if what keeps them safe suddenly failed, how long could you last?
A day? A week? An entire summer?
Would You Survive Here? takes you inside real, inhabited extreme places. From desert heat to isolation, cold and altitude, we explore how people live with conditions that can change the rules of an ordinary day. Then we put you in their place: What would you notice? What would you decide?
