The Sahara desert seen from space
2009/11/03 Kortabitarte Egiguren, Irati - Elhuyar Zientzia
The image shows one of the most deserted landscapes of the Sahara desert. Algeria is located in the south centre and is known for the lack of water and vegetation. Known as Land of Fear.
As can be seen in the image, this region is formed by hills of dark sandstones, huge canyons, salt pans (in white), stone plateaus, etc. The upper structure of the image, which resembles a yellowish bouquet of flowers, is a set of dunes that grow higher than the sides.
