Deserts are some of the most harsh environments in the world with their unbearable temperatures and lack of rainfall. However, did you know that the driest place on Earth is not the Sahara desert that most think it is, but actually the Atacama Desert in South America? Well, if you want to know why it is, then watch this video and stick around to the end to learn of an incredible phenomenon that takes place once in a blue moon in this desert and transforms it into something else entirely. We hope you enjoy it!
