Image Caption:
STS047-151-302, 304 SAHARAN WIND-ERODED LANDFORMS, Chad. Paral-
lel lines are channels, meters deep termed "megagrooves" that
have been carved in the local country rock by persistent winds in
a hyperarid climate over millions of years. Chains of yellow,
horn-shaped barchan dunes follow some of these. Individual dunes
can be detected.
