I was listening to the news about it and apparently death valley is the hottest placeon earth, recording the temperature at 55c on sunday, national park service angers even took photos of themselves standing by the digital display temperature reader.
It is said it is gather interests from the public who is wanting to travel thereto experience how the heat feels there, would you travel there or stay at home? It would be fun to see how such heat would feel

No Shag. It would not be fun.
I’m quite content with temperatures in the mid 20’s. |

Our bodies biological mechanism regulates our body temp around 37c. An ambient temp in the 50c range will cause organs to start shutting down and eventually death unless an external means of cooling ourselves down is used.
So my answer is no, it would be no fun to see how that sort of heat would feel  |

I've been through death valley and back then about 15 years ago it was damn hot and when I stopped and got it off the car it felt like a hot hair drier with the wind through the valley and I think it would have cooked an egg.on the tarmac. Can't imagine what 55 degrees feels like |

We were in Death Valley last month, was "only" 40 degrees, but its such a dry heat that it was actually more bearable than you might imagine. Considerably easier than coping with the sticky high 30s in Benidorm this week |

No thanks.
I've done an Ironman in 42 degrees and that was the worst.
I can't even imagine just walking in 55 let alone anything else.
I'm sure it's probably been hotter elsewhere Dubai for example who have rule that if the temperature goes over 50 staff can go home.
Amazingly the temperature always peak's at 49.9 never quite 50 almost as if someone has tampered with things  |

Not something I was inclined to try! |

That’s hot!
It was 50.1 here last weekend but even most days at 40-44 if feels like 50 due to humidity, pressure etc.
Depends what you are doing in that heat.
Above 42-43 a 4-5 minute walk to the metro outside is almost impossible for me, I’m soaking wet and feel lightheaded. But at a good beach club with shade, cool pools and outdoor chillers it’s nice, I can be there all day even at 50 |

Drove from San Francisco to Las Vegas going past what proudly claimed to be the world's largest thermometer which said 110°. We weren't tempted to stop or turn off the a/c as the signs at the side of the road reccomended  |

That is right, as it regulates the body temperature to 37c too |

It was 112 when I was there. Didn't feel as hot as I expected, but then I wasn't hiking or doing anything else overly silly. Unlike the Harry Potter actor (played Fenrir Greyback) who died when I was there. He decided to go for a long walk in it.
The Danakill Depression in Ethiopia felt worse. I know that's always up there in those temperatures lists too. |

The Timbisha tribe of native Americans have been living there for at least the last millennium.
Without boiling to death!

I've been there, stayed at stovepipe Wells, it was only 120°f 48°c but at 11pm at night standing outside it was like someone was blowing a hair dryer directly at you.

Working in the Middle East, I thought I’d really struggle with extreme heat, but it’s surprising how quickly you acclimatise. It’s hard coping with humid heat though, that’s horrible. |
