It was really a great fligth to do I hope others we'll do it too as the exploration of the Sahara and the sand world is really impressive Here is a link about the Eye of the Sahara which a famous place in our beautiful Earth to be known Satellite view : The edge all along to follow from Atar upto the crater is great to follow with a lot of various sand details : I will add screenshots later about this part of the trip This is an interesting video about the Eye : the great and beautiful Eye on Youtube PS : the crater is not from a fallen huge meteroite but quite unknown - seems to be karstic phenomens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy you liked Lars Thanks for your comment ! This flight was really pleasant to perform - at low altitude to have beautiful desert details - and the arrival at the crater great at dusk ... So great to have Open LC ! The RL place is really interesting to know too... I will prepare maybe a long Something different post someday about it, Sahara people ... (Reading a nice book about the area - Méharées by the grand Théodore Monod !) But I need first to try to finish the long one about Artic ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
