Wrong world! While we are still waiting for the first snow in Slovenia, Sahara received its first shipment in 37 years! Yes, you read that right! They got snow where they least expected it. The largest sand desert in the world hasn't seen snow since 1979! This kind of natural phenomenon is only the second such known example in history. See the stunning scenes from Algeria.

Who needs rivers when we have sand dunes. If the world runs out of water, at least we won't run out of one water sport. Kayaking. Well, it's true that it won't be a water sport anymore, so we won't be deprived of such pleasures, because kayaking "on" sand dunes seems just as exciting as on (wild) waters. This was proven to us by experienced kayaker Eric Walter, who is no stranger to descents over the highest waterfalls in the world. Well, this time he was in a hurry in the Namib desert of Africa, where there was neither spirit nor hearing about water.

The desert, unrelenting and harsh, is certainly not the place you imagine your dream home to be. Bev Doolittle and her husband imagine it differently, who decided to buy four acres of dry land and rock outside California's Joshua Tree National Park and build The Desert House, one of the most stunning and unique pieces of residential architecture we've ever seen. It was for sale a few days ago, today it is sold.

We usually imagine hammocks somewhere under the canopy, by the sea, but certainly not 120 meters above the ground and in the desert. But it was precisely at such a height that a group of adrenaline junkies erected it above the Moab desert among the red deserts in Utah, USA, and called it the "Mothership Space Net Penthouse". Crazy!

At Google, as one of the last uncovered parts of the planet, they combed one of the largest deserts - Liwa on the Arabian Peninsula, and instead of cars, they made the journey with camels. In doing so, they recorded the journey from the edge of the desert to the largest oasis on the Arabian Peninsula, which should give visitors a realistic insight into life in the desert.

Deserts seem like a lonely place that does not overly love the living, but at the same time a popular place for meditation and purification. Although it's a metaphorical cleansing, now you can actually cleanse yourself in the Mojave Desert in California. A swimming pool is waiting for you in an unknown location. A mirage? No, at least not until May 1, 2015.

An Estonian photographer came across a very special discovery during one of his trips to distant lands. Antiquated projection equipment and hundreds of wooden chairs, resting serenely on a sunlit hillside in the middle of the vast Sinai desert. Is this a mirage or possibly a cinema "at the end of the world"?
