Image Caption: ISS over the central Sahara
The first components of the International Space Station are in stark
contrast to the Bodele Desert in Northeastern Chad. The dark streaks are
wind cut grooves in the soft rock of the desert floor. They align with
the prevailing winds and they can be remarkably deep.
