The Sahara desert is huge. So big, in fact, that only three countries in the World are bigger: Russia, Canada and China.

There are sand dunes in the Sahara that are taller than the highest skyscrapers in America.

And because of the way that the Earth shifts around, 450 million years ago, the South Pole was situated where the Sahara desert is now.
