Green Sahara
Gobero Area, Sahara Desert, Niger
The excavation is an utterly desolate area of the desert, so remote that camels are never seen. A wide aerial view of camp shows distant sand dunes, the team's tents and a tiny group of archaeologists excavating skeletons (lower left). Looking at it today, It is hard to believe this was the Green Sahara thousands of years ago.
