Would you die faster in the Death Valley or Antarctica?

Answer 1

Antarctica: You'll die of hypothermia and exposure far faster than you'll die of hyperthermia in Death Valley.

Okay, lets assume that you're in GOOD health, and that you're 'transported' to either location wearing what you'd be wearing on an average winter day... long pants, shoes, shirt, jacket, and a hat.

The monthly mean tempurature means at McMurdo Station ranges from 18.4°F in August to -26.6°F in January.

For Death Valley the highest average high temperature in July is 116 °F and can drop to freezing at night.

Answer 2

With no protective gear in either situation? I would say Antarctica. Even without water it's still somewhat possible to find shade as relief from the heat. When you're out on a solid block of ice though, you have nothing for shelter and the cold will get you faster than the dehydration will.

Answer 3

Death Valley...;

Answer 4

Antarctica...

if you remove your gloves etc, and clothing that insulates you, you will freeze quicker than by dying of heat exhaustion in the valley.
