[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4687916, member: 2067"] Fire is also "dryness". But a glacier or a snowfield basically IS water, just frozen (even if it's also a desert). Also, hottest place on earth: [IMG]http://www.bigsiteofamazingfacts.com/files/u1/desert.jpg[/IMG] El Azizia in Libya. In the Libyan [B]desert[/B]. Also ranking high is Death Valley, and Dallol in Ethiopia, in the Afar Depression, in a region that are basically salt flats. Also a couple of places in Western Australia if we're looking for "inhabited" regions, hardly known for its ample rainfall. Dry desert is hot. Meanwhile, coldest place on earth: [IMG]http://www.bigwalls.net/climb/Showcase/anarctica.jpg[/IMG] Check out that snow. Sure, there's also virtually no new snowfall, but there's still a LOT of water between your feet and the ground below (even if it is frozen). What actually helps it get that cold, though, isn't so much the water as it is the [I]wind[/I]: it's so barren and so high that the stuff just whips right through. Also ranking up there are areas in the Yukon and Russia, up in the forests, which also have FROZEN ground, and by the North Pole, which is either ice or ocean. So snow (which is made of water) is cold. My biggest use of a jungle motif was with Aztec-style lizardfolk and kobolds and yuan-ti who worshiped feathered dinosaur-dragons as gods, which was pretty fire-heavy. It's cool to want some variety, but don't be a hater, mang. ;) [/QUOTE]
