Port Edward, South Africa’s unusual claim to fame is the Red Desert. The world’s smallest desert. Best described as a miniature version of the Arizona Desert. 
This peculiar phenomenon is surrounded by myth and legend including stories that this is the site of an alien landing.

Sand Dune season is finally here! The dunes are an exhilarating riding scene for 4x4 drivers. Sand is one of the most fun and enjoyable surfaces for any vehicle, but riding in the sand is a little different from riding on flat ground.
If you make the wrong move, your vehicle can roll sideways, downhill, get swept away with the tide, or sink in quicksand. Here are some tips that will help you stay safe and master sand riding like a pro! When riding the dunes, make sure you keep your momentum to a balance. Try to keep the momentum going uphill but not too much because too much RPM can damage your vehicle. If you are climbing a steep dune, try to gain some speed and drive up without turning until you reach the top. If you are going back down a dune, do not turn your vehicle sideways unless you want to flip over. If you are driving with other riders, follow the person that is in front of you because that rider has packed the sand down for you so his tracks are a firmer surface. It will make riding the dunes so much easier. When riding the dunes, avoid rapid acceleration and quick braking. Riders get so excited riding the dunes that they immediately accelerate trying to take off, but it will actually slow you down.

If for any reason you get your UTV stuck do not panic, we are here to help. Although it is tempting to floor the gas when you get stuck, this will only make it harder to get out because you are digging yourself into the sand even more. It is better to ease yourself in reverse and use your compacted tracks to back up. If you cannot reverse yourself out, ask a friend or fellow rider to help you push, pull you with a snatch strap or winch you out. A good rule of thumb when riding the sand dunes is to never ride alone.

The depth of sand in ergs varies widely around the world, ranging from only a few centimeters deep in the Selima Sand Sheet of Southern Egypt, to approximately 1 m (3.3 ft) in the Simpson Desert, and 21–43 m (69–141 ft) in the Sahara.

Antarctica is a cold desert and the world's largest desert. It is considered a desert because it only receives annual precipitation of about 50 mm. It is also a continent, the fifth-largest continent. Antarctica is the coldest desert and the coldest place on earth. It is made up of thick sheets of ice accumulated for thousands of years. Although Antarctica is cold, there is summer, and this is the best time to visit the desert. Summer lies between November and March when the earth is tilted towards the sun, and it is always sunny. Interestingly, some activities include skiing, climbing Antarctica’s mountains, kayaking, crossing the drake passage, visiting science research stations, and spotting seals and penguins.

Driving too fast is dangerous, especially on dunes or slippery slopes (it would be best to avoid the latter at all costs, regardless of the car you are driving). It is best not to travel at night, always beware of the ground conditions, use four-wheel drive, and avoid locking the wheels when braking or manoeuvring.

Before the invention of gps, without even map and compass, Arabs traveled safely across vast, inhospitable and repetitive terrain. In the #desert, landmarks can vanish, sand dunes move, distance is difficult to judge and visibility may be nil. #art #photography #nood #nsfw – at Western Sahara
