The peak of Mount Washington. In fact, this place is very beautiful, but it is extremely dangerous to be here. Mount Washington is located in the northeast of the United States. Let it not frighten tourists that the height of the summit is only 1917 meters. In fact, visiting this place is also risky, like Everest. The fact is that Mount Washington is the world leader in wind speed on the surface of the Earth. The highest rate was achieved in April 1934, when the air moved here at a speed of 372 km / h. If the yard is winter, the wind turns into snow storms. The complex of buildings of the local observatory is instantly swept out, save unless tightly clogged windows and doors. The station is really extreme, its instruments and buildings can withstand wind speeds of up to 500 km / h, which is quite likely in this area. In winter, Mount Washington turns into a winter fairy tale, but very dangerous. So an occasional companion or a professional photographer should be extremely cautious in these places. Nobody after all does not want to become a suicide, being blown off by a hurricane into a snow drift.
At its top is a weather station, whose employees decided to visually show the wind force at a speed of over 175 km / h. It acts like an invisible physical barrier! By the way, in the distant 1946 pilots were exposed to wind speed of 735 km / h!
