The Ubari Sand Sea of Fezzan

Two Air Libya RJ100s at Cranfield. Nearest is 5A-FLA which arrived at Cranfield in August 2017. At the time, it was assumed she arrived for maintenance, but here she is over a year later and I think its safe to say she ain't flying out!

 

Behind is 5A-FLE which has been in for maintenance recently, and has survived the ordeal, looks to be ready to leave shortly.

Happy Birthday to Alex Gerst, who turns 41 today. Here is a picture for your two fascinations: clouds over a volcanic field (the Haruj in Libya). I hear you are training in Houston for your next mission in 2018, you will be able to admire the clouds and volcanoes from space yourself soon!

 

Joyeux anniversaire Alex Gerst, en ce moment à Houston en pleine préparation pour une prochaine mission spatiale ! En l’honneur de notre géophysicien préféré, qui a étonnament préféré photographié des formations nuageuses plutôt que de superbes aéroports pendant son séjour sur l’ISS, voici un combo nuages/champ volcanique, capturé en survolant Haruj en Libye

On our Sahara expedition in Libya we primarily searched for rock arches and rock formations, but we soon discovered that the country has so much more to offer. There is no infrastructure in the Sahara, so with our 4x4's we basically just drove from place to place whenever we thought we saw something interesting through our binoculars. At some stage our Tuareg guide told us he knew of a ‘magical place’ that we should see with our own eyes. He didn’t want to say where we were going, because he wanted it to be a surprise. We were about to witness a wonder.

 

When we arrived at this magical place, it turned out to be an oasis. For someone who doesn’t live in the desert, it’s just a small pond with a few trees - nothing special. But for the Tuaregs who have been living there all their lives, it’s the most amazing thing ever.

 

I saw the place had potential for a nice photograph, but the problem in the Sahara is that there usually is quite a bit of wind - the water was rippled and the reeds were moving all over the place. So I decided to set up camp close to the oasis and try to shoot it early next morning, before sunrise. That turned out to be the right decision - I got some nice pastel colors and a great pre-glow, the water was like a mirror, and the grasses were motionless.

Three Soviet-era T-55 tanks abandoned in the Sahara at Bir Kora are reminders of a Libyan invention in Chad's civil wars which ended badly for Libya in 1987.
