GeoEye publishes images of the Sahara Desert, Eastern Algeria

February 10th, 2012 by Susan Smith

In GeoEye’s gallery are numerous high resolution images of locations across the globe. The Eastern Algerian portion of the Sahara is an otherworldly place, a region of great diversity with endless stretches of sand dunes and rocky platforms that can reach more than 2,000 meters. The Tassili n’Ajjer “Plateau of the Rivers” National Park is a vast plateau in southeast Algeria at the borders of Libya, Niger, and Mali, covering 72,000 square kilometers.
