The Sahara: MORE than Dunes

How’s everyone DUNE? (get it? Like doing. Hah). I just wanted to SPICE up (ok I’ll stop) the channel with a sahara-centric video that definitely has no tie in to recent cinema. Nope. none at all. But seriously, I hope you all enjoy this episode about a place on earth rarely explored.

Background music, and album, by Dara Hughes! Here is full list of everywhere you can find the album and his other work:

I usually would recommend wikipedia article to go and check out, but instead, do yourself a favour and check out One Earth’s awesome website:

9:52 I just recently looked at Sahara in satellite view, it's crazy how alien it looks from close up, kilometers of dried up rivers remind of me of Mars and how it once held water. It somehow looks like a long lost civilization, in a continent that has the highest growth rate on earth.

I love the Sahara so much, nothing comes close to its wonderful wadis, xeric shrublands, arid deserts, oases, the Delta

[--Paws--]

Funny how it is called Dorcas Gazelle, when dorcas mean gazelle in Greek...

So happy to see another upload. I love how detailed and in depth your videos are.
You respect the intelligence of your audience, which is rare on YT.

I hope we will be able to enjoy your carefully crafted content and beautiful music to accompany it for a very long time.

Endemic fish in the Sahara! Makes you think how they ended up there. 😅

Abyssal plains: resource poor but liveable
Hot desert: resource poor but liveable
Continental glacier: *NOPE*

One of my favorite channels ever, I’ve been watching for about 2 year and always get super excited when I see that you have uploaded. I appreciate that you’re still around on YouTube and I hope that you continue to stick around

As an Alaskan, your usage of the term "lower-48" really resonated with me. Subbed.

[jayandremcmurtry]

You should do the rest of Africa as well. I'd watch the hell out of that. Maybe the whole world lol

As a fun fact about Dune, astillar actor Javier Bardem was born on Dunes in an island next to the Sahara.

Gotta say the budget museum album is running for on of my favorite albums I’ve ever heard

[GeekFreeek]

Instantly became my favorite channel to watch for anything animals! The whole vibe in your videos is awesome. Love the music and humor too

[mcbeenerd]

I have loved your channel from the beginning, and I value it more lately with how respectful you continue to be with your ways of speaking; you make an effort to use non-English words where it's appropriate and culturally relevant and it's very sincere. ❤

I am a marine scientist focuses on seagrass, and thanks for highlighting them! I didn't even know seagrass existed on the northwest africa coast, although sensible as one of the coastal characteristics of seagrass habitat are visible flux of sands and nutrient run-off. Great video!

As a Subnautica player, I want to call some of these sub-regions as "biomes." But I don't see that term being used much. To this end, I am looking forward to learning from this video and seeing if I can learn more correct terminology.

Please do more videos about One Earth's Ecoregions! I loved the way you put the information together

[tomasshulman]

Excellent video, as usual! I was intrigued by the Tanezrouft. Good job mate!

[Attlanttizz]

Thank you for the wonderful content... the dunes make me dream...

Opened my eyes, I had no idea the sahara was so varied
