Saharan Landscapes

Explore the geological diversity of the Algerian Sahara within the Tindouf province. This collection features the Ouarkziz crater, a 3.5-kilometer-wide meteorite impact site estimated to be less than 70 million years old. The landscape is defined by vast sebkhas, or seasonal salt marshes like Tiandjouk and Tindouf, which transform into wetlands after rare rains. Notable topographical features include the rocky mesa of Gara Sayada and the desert peak of Djebel Drissa, showcasing the region's complex arid terrain.
