Snow in the Sahara Desert, Ain Sefra, Algeria - 19 Dec 2016
Photographer Zineddine Hashas Hashas took incredible pictures of snow covering the sand in the small Saharan desert town of Ain Sefra,Algeria,earlier this week.
He captured the amazing moment snow fell on the red sand dunes in the world's largest hot desert for the first time in 37 YEARS.
Snow was last seen in Ain Sefra, known as "The Gateway to the Desert," on February 18, 1979, when the snow storm lasted just half an hour.
This time the snow stayed for a day in the town, which is around 1000 metres above sea level and surrounded by the Atlas Mountains.
The Sahara Desert covers most of Northern Africa and it has gone through shifts in temperature and moisture over the past few hundred thousand years.
Although the Sahara is very dry today, it is expected to become green again in about 15000 years.
