Hello, my name is Grover Williams. I am currently a Junior
with at the University of Colorado at Denver. I am currently trying to become a
Recording Arts Major to finish off my degree. The reason why I chose The Sahara
Desert for my blog entries is because I have always been fascinated with the
animals and landscapes of the desert. The Sahara Desert is easily one of the
most impressive landscapes in the world with numerous of different wildlife creatures
and forms of land. Most of its landscape has been shaped by wind as you can see
below:

As a little kid if someone were to
mention animals to me I would automatically think of lions, zebra, camels and
all the other types of animals you can find in Africa. The Sahara Desert has more
than just land and wildlife. North Africa’s countries such as, Algeria, Libya,
Chad, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Egypt and Sudan makes up for a majority of the
Sahara Desert.

The sand is very much the common
ground for most of North Africa but I thought that’s all it was back then. Now I
know that the Sahara Desert is heavily made up of Seas, Volcanoes, Plateaus and
even some grasslands that make up for other parts of the Huge Desert. The light
grasslands and moisture will most likely be found in the north and south parts
of the Sahara Desert. It is one of the most extreme humid areas in the
Continent of Africa with distinct habitats and unique scenery. It is all of the
above plus much more and is actually a huge desert that makes up environments, cultures
and impressive landscapes. That’s what makes the Sahara Desert much more
interesting to me as it is the top area I will love to visit.
