East Antarctic&nbsp; Plateau ... 
On the high ridge of the East Antarctic&nbsp; Plateau, 
the temperature can drop to as low as -135.8&nbsp; degrees&nbsp; Fahrenheit, which was recorded in August, 2010.

Shanghai&nbsp; ... 
At a whopping&nbsp; 24,150,000 permanent inhabitants, 
Shanghai&nbsp; is the&nbsp; only city that is home to over 24 million people in one city. 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

 Where is the&nbsp; world's least populated&nbsp; city? (the picture is the clue)

&nbsp; 
Vatican City&nbsp; ... 
With a paltry&nbsp; population of 842, the city-state of 
Vatican&nbsp; City&nbsp; is the&nbsp; smallest city and state in the world. 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Where is the world's&nbsp; wealthiest city ?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tokyo&nbsp; ,&nbsp; Japan&nbsp; .. 
That tower&nbsp; might as well be made of gold since Tokyo tops the charts 
with a GDP of&nbsp; $1,520 billion, beating New York City by a mere $310 billion.

The&nbsp; 600&nbsp; miles of South America's Atacama desert is recorded as the&nbsp; driest place on Earth, no contest. This desert&nbsp; has an average of only 4 inches of rain every hundred years.
