Best place on Earth to fake being on a distant planet?

Lets say an alien trickster wants to trick a group of human astronauts into thinking they've been transported to another world far away. But in reality, he wants them to stay on good old Earth, throughout all of this. What place on Earth would be best for faking being on another planet?

Criteria

• This place cannot have any obvious life forms. Nothing too complex (Small microbial creatures are fine)

• No humans for at least a few hundred miles, and no signs of their presence.

• Must be somewhat hostile to human life

• Cannot be underwater
