滑翔伞 Ténéré Paraglider, Niger, 1999
National Geographic Photo Of the Day
在尼日尔的泰内雷沙漠中，一张滑翔伞在沙丘上投下了影子。泰内雷沙漠位于撒哈拉沙漠的中南部，面积达 150,000平方英里(400,000平方公里)，是非洲最险恶的地区之一。酷热多尘的哈马丹风(一种沿非洲大陆西北岸吹送的干燥多沙的风)吹过这片极度干燥的沙漠，这里每年仅有约1 英寸(25毫米)的降雨量。

A paraglider casts a shadow over the dunes of Niger’s Ténéré desert. A south-central tract of the Sahara, the 150,000-square-mile (400,000-square-kilometer) Ténéré is one of Africa’s most forbidding regions. Hot, dusty harmattan winds blow across the bone-dry desert, which receives an annual rainfall of about 1 inch (25 millimeters).
