0 degree max temp world on a glacier.  Custom race with 32 degree Fahrenheit colddam point.  The fortress crumbled to it's end after ONE FRAME.

My worst(that I didn't expect to end in disaster) was when the wagon got paradropped 1 tile from a surface breaching chasm and a small family of behemoths (think really big size 16 pissed off purple bulls).  The fortress was turned into a fine red mist before the miners even picked up their picks.

I'd imagine the absolute worst ever place for a fortress to start off would be with ground-level HFS. Of course, that's impossible now. But since when did that stop a DF fan? I'm off to abuse the world generator

I've seen that by default you can't embark on an area that doesn't have at least one tile on a good/normal river or a forest.
How do you change that?

It's actually that you can't embark to a region that is all mountain or all lake/ocean. I think there's a utility that changes that and lets you embark anywhere, with embark regions as small as 1x1.

not that its a good idea, unless you really want insane challenge

ive never really tried the glacier fort, however i do agree with chaos about the savage treeless aquifer desert. the only way you can make that worse is to have a riverside treeless aquifer savage desert. with no magma. and orcs. even if you survive, smelting ore is a horrible horrible nightmare.

as a random aside, do you get caves in aquifer zones, and if so, do they penetrate the aquifer allright?

yes and yes
