Image title
Algerian Sahara seen by satellite - Algerian Sahara seen from space - The Tanezrouft Basin is one of the most desolate regions of the Sahara Desert, in southern Algeria. The Tanezrouft region is characterised by its hills of dark gres, its subdued canyons, its stretches of salt (in white), its rocky plateaus, the concentric loop patterns of its storey outcrops and its seas with sand dunes as tall as buildings and which are called ergs. The Erg Mehedjibat, which appears here as a bouquet of yellow flowers (at the top right), is made up of small star dunes that grow in height rather than horizontally. The Japanese satellite ALOS (Advanced Land Observation Satellite) took this image on 24 June 2009 using its camera AVNIR - 2 (Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type - 2) which was designed to map emergeal lands and vegetation with a resolution of 10 m. The image shows the extraordinary landscape of the Tanezrouft Basin, one of the most desolate parts of the Sahara desert, in south - central Algeria. The region is known as 'land of terror' because of its lack of water and vegetation. As visible, this region is characterised by dark sandstone hills, steep canyon walls, salt flats (white), stone plateaus, sandstone outcrop patterns of concentric loops and sprawling seas of multi - storey sand dunes known as 'ergs'. Erg Mehedjibat, which appears as a yellow bouquet of flowers (upper right), is made up of a cluster of small star dunes that grow upward rather than laterally. Japan's ALOS (Advanced Land Observing Satellite) captured this image on 24 June 2009 with its Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type - 2 (AVNIR - 2) instrument.
