It is a step towards a better, cleaner, more sustainable, greener world, in which human beings will not only have the assurance that we can survive on planet earth, but also have a good quality of life.
One of the driest places on earth, the Atacama Desert in the Antofagasta Region in Chile, has been putting its high share of solar radiation to good use as it has become home to Cerro Dominador solar plant, the first of its kind in Latin America and one of the largest in the world.
The Audi Q8 also continues where paved roads end. The Atacama Desert in Chile is one of the driest places on earth and an ideal place to test the four-door luxury coupé with the practical versatility of a large SUV.
No, this is no mirage. The dunes of the Sahara desert were really covered in snow on Sunday morning, producing one of the strangest sights around. Snow has only been seen in the Sahara three times in nearly 40 years, but on Sunday, dunes in Algeria's Ain Sefra where topped with cold, white snow. Some 16 inches of snow fell between Saturday night and Sunday morning, covering the town of Ain Sefra, which is sometimes called "the gateway to the desert." Unfortunately the rare beauty didn't last as it melted the same day as soon as the desert sun started shining.
