The Simpson Desert will be closed for the first time this summer because of the danger posed by extreme temperatures.

South Australia's Department of Environment and Heritage today announced the annual December 1 to March 15 closure, saying a risk assessment showed temperatures of 40 to 50 degrees celsius were dangerous for people crossing the desert.

The closure will take effect in the Simpson Desert Conservation Park and Regional Reserve, covering an area of more than 3.6 million hectares.

Department regional operations director Trevor Naismith said it was unfortunate the area had to be closed, but it was necessary to prevent deaths and to ensure the health of visitors and emergency staff.

"There's been a number of near misses and we have had deaths in past years in the northern parts of South Australia in relation to overseas tourists who are not experienced and are ill-prepared for the conditions," Mr Naismith said.

"The Simpson Desert is one of the most fascinating, majestic places in Australia, but in the middle of summer it's also one of the harshest and the least hospitable areas, and potentially one of the most unforgiving, dangerous places.
