The article makes different statements about heat, and it's somewhat difficult to tell how they relate: "A NASA satellite recorded surface temperatures in the Lut desert of Iran as high as 71", "one of the hottest and driest", "the hottest temperature ever recorded on the surface of the Earth", "Lut desert have had the highest surface temprature on Earth".
And this statement could use some rewording: "There are reports that no living creature lives in this region." Maybe it means that no large animals make their home in Gandom Beriyan?

A NASA satellite recorded surface temperatures in the Lut desert of Iran as high as 71 °C (159 °F), the hottest temperature ever recorded on the surface of the Earth.
I'm not sure if this is correct. Climate records are based on temperatures 4-5 feet above the ground, and I believe the record set in El-Azizia of 57 C has not been broken as far as climatic air temperatures go. Ground temperatures can reach the 90s Celsius and higher, but those aren't recorded as "high temperatures" since they have more to do with the reflectivity of the ground surface than with climate. (For example, you can fry an egg on the sidewalk in some parts of the USA, because concrete can have a surface temperature of 100-110. even when air temperatures are only in the 40s.) If this "surface" temperature is a ground-surface temperature, it's nowhere close to being a record. However, if it's an air temperature, then it's incredibly noteworthy, being more than 10 degrees warmer than the previous world record (for climatic air temperatures). 151.205.112.88 ( talk) 01:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
