Monday, January 25th 2021, 7:52 pm - The icy occurrence in the Sahara Desert doesn't typically last long, so photographer Karim Bouchetata was certainly in the right spot at the right time.
While the Sahara Desert is usually known for its hot, uninhabitable conditions, wintry-like phenomena has happened before. It just doesn't happen often.
In fact, when it occurred last week, it was only the fourth time in the last 42 years that a thin layer of ice formed in the Sahara. Local photographer Karim Bouchetata was there to capture it on camera.
