         The great desert


          This shot of part of the Sahara in
          Western Libya was captured by
          EarthKAM – a NASA programme
          where students from all over the
          world can ask for images to be
          taken from the International Space
          Station of specific locations on
          Earth. The Sahara is the largest hot
          desert in the world, with north-
          easterly winds that can reach
          hurricane levels, and as little as
          2.5cm of rain on average each year.
