High temperatures, lightning, 900+ atmospheres of pressures, chlorine, acid rain, and nearly a full G worth of gravity well.

The dozen or so landers we've sent to Venus have had a whopping 15% success rate, all half melted after landing, a none lasted as long as expected (save one atmospheric probe that was never intended to survive at all). All the atmospheric data we've gotten back since then indicate it was a miracle those few made it at all. It's a seething chemical ocean of hell down there.
