The ice crystals leave stunning patterns in the sands of the Sahara, the world's largest hot desert.
Snow has fallen in the Sahara Desert in north-western Algeria as temperatures plummeted to below freezing.For children from nearby towns such as Mekalis, it was a welcome relief from the scorching heat of the world's largest hot desert.Dunes - ideal for sliding - were also partially covered by the snow and ice.The snow in the town of Ain Sefra - known as the gateway to the Sahara Desert - was only a light dusting.
Temperatures in the town, which is surrounded by the Atlas mountains, dropped below -2 for the last three nights but this is only a few degrees colder than average at this time of year, says BBC Weather's Nicky Berry.The snow was not a complete surprise - there were also falls in 2021, 2018 and 2017.But the snow on the red sand dunes in December 2016 did come as a shock.
