Only when hearing the word “desert” most of us will make a step back. But living longer or shorter in the desert is a challenge for many people. And about the people who permanently rule their lives in the deserts, they must be really tough indeed. I think that in the future the mankind must learn to conquer the deserts, and more and more people will live there, as the surfaces occupied by the deserts worldwide are huge.

If you simply think to the deserts as totally hostile lands or as sandy yellow uniform surfaces, you are teribly wrong. There are oasis in any deserts, and the deserts are not the same, there are huge differences between them! Some deserts are yellow, some reddish, some white, etc. I selected from the many deserts of our planet a few who are the most significant and interesting in my opinion.

If saw, visited and experimented already Sahara desert or the Death Valley inU.S. you must have been impressed about the tough conditions of life there, due to the extreme lack of moisture. Nevertheless, the world’d driest region is the Atacama Desert, lieing on the Pacific Coast of Chile, and bordering also Peru and Bolivia.

I found Atacama desert amazing and worth to be visited. It really looks like the Planet Mars. It would be something really extraordinary feeling yourself like being on the Mars, but I don’t think you can during this life. Much easier, go and visit Atacama Desert, the soil and the climate is very similar to Mars! NASA performs tests of its extraterestrial vehicles in the Atacama Desert. There are more telescopes in the Atacama Desert (there are no raining clouds there!).
