Strange things have happened in the Sahara desert
The driest place is also the most fertile
The Sahara is the largest desert in the world, with an area of one quarter of Africa. This place is known to be one of the hottest and arid places in the world. In fact, a few thousand years ago, this place was once a fertile lawn with rich and lush trees.

According to scientists, the desert is as dry as it is today due to the change in Earth's orbit To date, a small portion of the Sahara is still fertile with green oases.



Water in this area is due to underground rivers flowing from the Atlas range.
Snow falls in the desert
Many believe snow never falls in the desert. But in reality, this has happened.
According to CNN, in December 2016, snow fell on the town of Ain Sefra in Algeria. It was the first time that snow had fallen in 37 years. This town is located in the Sahara desert - known as the "gateway to the desert".

In 2017, the snow "visited" the Sahara again, attracting many visitors to ski. In 2018, the snow continued to fall. This has a lot of people questioning: in winter, the Sahara snow is about to become normal, isn't it?
Survive in the desert by drinking urine and bat blood
According to the BBC, Mauro Prosperi was a participant in the marathon across the Sahara desert in 1994, when he was 39 years old. On the 4th day of the competition, he was caught up in a sandstorm and got lost. Mauro peeed into the bottle of water. Later, he found a Muslim temple and took refuge in it. There are only bats in the temple.
Mauro recalled, when he got lost, he was so desperate, he even cut off his wrist to make death faster.



However, the dehydration was so severe that the bleeding from his wrist was too thick. Therefore, Mauro had to stop the bleeding and began to find a way to survive. He walked around the temple, killed snakes, lizards to eat alive. He also drinks urine and bat blood to last for 10 days.
When he was rescued, what disappointed Mauro the most was his failure to complete the marathon. The photo above was taken in the Sahara desert, when he entered the 1994 running competition, after Mauro was Italian athlete Mario Malerb. Photo: BBC.
The place with the hottest and hottest gold rush
In 2016, gold mining fever took place in the Republic of Mauritania, a country located in West Africa.



With a license worth 300 USD, the people of Mauritania have the right to go to the Sahara to dig gold. This information has caused many people to seek luck. In a month, if you actively dig, lucky people can earn more than $ 1,000. But there are also people with nothing.
Huge sandstorm
In May 2011, NASA captured a scene of a sandstorm in the Sahara spanning more than 1,100 km. This phenomenon is truly the horror of tourists coming to the Sahara to visit. If you get lost in a sandstorm, you will definitely get lost and have days "brainstorming" alone here to fight for survival, waiting for people to save.
