It has been 100 years since the world's highest temperature of 56.7 degrees Celsius was observed in Death Valley National Park on July 10, 1913. This year's Death Valley has been hit by intense heat every day, and it is rumored that it may exceed the record 100 years ago.

But the heat has flooded Death Valley with people trying to make fried eggs on the road. Park rangers in Death Valley National Park are said to be busy cleaning eggs and egg shells. The US media Los Angeles Times reports.

According to the media, many eggs and egg shells are now scattered on the roads and rocks of Death Valley. Although the temperature in Death Valley is high, the temperature on the roads and rocks is not high enough to make a fried egg. For this reason, eggs are left raw on roads and rocks, and eventually rot, sprinkling a strong rotting odor around them. Even the egg packages are scattered throughout the park. This is very unusual in US national parks.

Park rangers in the national park have complained on their official Facebook page about the situation that officials are spending time cleaning up eggs that have been dropped directly onto the road.

"This is everyone's national park. Put your trash in the trash can or recycling container. Don't drop eggs on the sidewalk."

However, it seems that the reason why this fried egg boom was made was, ironically, the video released by the park ranger in the national park. The video shows a park ranger making a fried egg in a frying pan on the road to clearly show that Death Valley is hot this year.

The video became a hot topic online, and many tourists rushed to Death Valley with their egg packages. But many of them didn't bring a frying pan.

Cheryl Chipman, a spokeswoman for Death Valley National Park, said he was disappointed to see the egg shells being thrown away.

"53.8 degrees is really hot. In that heat, when you spend energy and time cleaning up sticky trash, you lose a little bit of trust in humans."

Chipman says it's great that people are interested in climate and science, but he wants to convey the following message to tourists who come to Death Valley with their eggs.

"I want you to bring a frying pan when you come to Death Valley."
