About Death Valley

Death Valley is a desert valley in Eastern California, United States, in the northern Mojave Desert, bordering the Great Basin Desert. The World Meteorological Organization lists Death Valley as the site of the hottest surface temperature recorded on Earth.

The hottest temperature ever recorded was in America, at somewhere called Furnace Creek Ranch. On Wikipedia, it says in brackets after it, 'formerly Greenland Ranch'. I assume that they changed it after that. Is that not in Death Valley? I've been there. It was hot. There was a sign saying you must not go out of your cars after 10 AM or something because it was so hot.
