A very hot place
What are summer temperatures like where you live? It’s August, so it’s forty degrees Celsius in Beatty town and forty-five degrees Celsius in Death Valley, which is very hot. When you wake up in the morning, your eyes feel dry and you don’t want to move because it is hot.
Some people think it’s very boring in Death Valley, but I really love outdoor adventures in the desert. We usually go on a camping trip in March or April, when it’s cooler than in summer. This year we visited a very big volcano crater, about a kilometre wide. It was amazing, very different from any other place! They filmed some famous science fiction movies there because it looks like another planet.
The night sky is so clear in the desert that you can see thousands of stars. I wanted to sleep outside, but Dad was very worried about scorpions, so I couldn’t do that. I took some very good photos of the Milky Way above us, though.
Did you know that sand can make a noise? On the final day of our trip we visited sand dunes at Mesquite and heard the sound of wind blowing the sand. It was very strange. We also tried sandboarding down the dunes. It’s like snowboarding down a mountain, but on the sand. It was my favourite activity on a very awesome trip.

A dangerously hot place
What are summer temperatures like where you live? It’s August, so it’s forty degrees Celsius in Beatty town and forty-five degrees Celsius in Death Valley, which is absolutely boiling. When you wake up in the morning, your eyes feel dry and you don’t want to move because it is hot.
Some people think it’s really boring in Death Valley, but I really love outdoor adventures in the desert. We usually go on a camping trip in March or April, when it’s cooler than in summer. This year we visited a huge volcano crater, about a kilometre wide. It was amazing, completely different from any other place! They filmed some famous science fiction movies there because it looks like another planet.
The night sky is so clear in the desert that you can see thousands of stars. I wanted to sleep outside, but Dad was quite worried about scorpions, so I couldn’t do that. I took some very good photos of the Milky Way above us, though.
