hellish landscapes

Scorched, tormented terrain

Hellish landscapes are environments that evoke hell—barren, hostile, seemingly inhospitable to life.

The phrase typically describes volcanic terrain, scorched earth, industrial wastelands, or any scene of desolation and ruin: The wildfire left behind a hellish landscape of ash and blackened trees.

War zones and environmental disasters often earn this description.
