There are some regions on our planet that do not receive rainfall for years. But what's the driest place on Earth? First of all, dry doesn’t necessarily mean hot. A desert is somewhere without much water and where there are almost no plants or animals. The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica fit this description perfectly. There’s been no rain here for several million years, and so it’s not covered in ice! And the last time it had life was 90 million years ago when this place was a swamp filled with countless insects and trees. There’s no snow in the valleys because of the strong winds there that reach a speed of 200 mph. So McMurdo stays completely dry. There is some water in a few lakes, but it’s so salty that practically nothing lives there apart from microscopic organisms. The temperature in summer here is 5°F, and in winter it can reach -90°F. Even though there’s almost no life, the McMurdo Valleys are fascinating to scientists because their dry conditions are actually similar to the ones on Mars. #brightside Other videos you might like:

More Not Even a Single Rain Drop Has Fallen Here in Million Years Videos

Smartphones have taken over our lives so much that they go everywhere with us. Today there are more than 3.5 billion smartphone users in the world, and some of them found some impressive practices for their gadgets. And we're not talking about controlling security cameras, adjusting the thermostat, or finding their lost items, but something far more interesting. It turned out smartphones have near-infinite possibilities.

He asked some couples and families to pose with their phones naturally and then in the picture he removed the phones using a photo manipulation software. Then, when the pics came out, you could only see 4 people having breakfast around the table holding up their hands and just starring at them. So, let's look at some more mind-blowing smartphone facts! #brightside EPISODES:

More A Man Made Huge Traffic Jam With Zero Cars Videos

If you’ve always had a thought that you’re talented, you’re right. The latest studies show that we underestimate our abilities and have no clue about the powers that we possess. Did you know, for example, that your lungs are as large as a tennis court, your eyes are as powerful as a 576-megapixel camera, and your ears are so sensitive, you can hear molecules? That’s proof right there that you have superpowers! The human body is an absolutely unique thing — you’re about ½ an inch taller in the morning than by the end of the day, your long-term memory can store as much information as the entire Internet, and Humans can change their body temperature! A Harvard professor traveled to the Himalayan Mountains to research this theory. Deep meditation helped the monks there raise the temperature of their fingers and toes enough to dry nearby wet sheets in around an hour! Interested? Then let's learn more cool facts about the human body! #brightside Other videos you might like:

More You’d Haven’t Thought Money Could Be Hidden In Such Places Videos

The 105-story Ryugyong Hotel was planned to be the tallest in the world and North Korea’s greatest achievement. It’s more than 2½ times the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Nearly 4 million square feet of floor space, you could almost fit Vatican City in this one building! But don't rush to book a deluxe room, though. This hotel is one of the strangest hotels in the world because it hasn’t hosted a single guest in its 33-year history! Ryugyong means “capital of willows,” and it’s an ancient name for Pyongyang. Once finished, the hotel could house up to 3,000 guests. 8 of its floors are supposed to rotate and have revolving restaurants with an unbeatable view of the city. And on the very top stands a massive cone twice the size of the Great Sphinx! A magnificent record-breaking hotel in the heart of the capital would bring tons of tourists into the city. So what went wrong? #brightside Other videos you might like:

More If You Crack One Riddle, You Can Call Yourself a Detective Videos

There's a terrifying yet incredibly beautiful place, where water and sky mix into one picture. Where you’ll find virtually no living creatures for thousands of miles. Anyone who manages to get there will feel like the loneliest person. Destination: Point Nemo, the most remote place on Earth. So, to get to the most isolated spot on Earth, you'll need to arrive on the coast of Chile and rent an old fishing boat. From here, you’ll have to sail through the South Pacific Ocean toward New Zealand. 2,500 miles to your destination…and just as many on the way back.
