Gurun Sahara adalah gurun terluas di dunia yang mencapai 9 juta kilometer persegi merupakan kawasan paling kering dan paling panas di bumi dengan suhu udara bisa mencapai lebih dari 50 derajat celsius.
Namun beberapa hari lalu tepatnya mulai tanggal 19 Desember 2016, salju turun di gurun Sahara. Salju menutupi hampir seluruh permukaan gurun Sahara.
Salju turun pernah di terjadi di gurun Sahara pada 37 tahun yang lalu, yaitu pada tahun 1979, itu terjadi ketika sebuah badai singkat menerjang. Tepatnya pada tanggal 18 Februari 1979, di dataran rendah Gurun Sahara untuk kali pertama tercatat adanya salju.
Fenomena turunnya salju di gurun Sahara mengingatkan kita pada lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh Anggun dengan judul Snow On The Sahara.
Snow On The Sahara
Anggun
Only tell me that you still want me here
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
In that dry white ocean alone
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
In that dry white ocean alone
Lost out in the desert
you are lost out in the desert
But to stand with you in a ring of fire
I'll forget the days gone by
you are lost out in the desert
But to stand with you in a ring of fire
I'll forget the days gone by
I'll protect your body and guard your soul
From mirages in your sight Lost out in the desert
If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
From mirages in your sight Lost out in the desert
If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes,
I'll pray the skies abovefor snow to fall on the Sahara
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away,
I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara
And if we burn away,
I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara
Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders
With veils of silk and gold
When the shadows come and darken your heart
Leaving you with regrets so cold
With veils of silk and gold
When the shadows come and darken your heart
Leaving you with regrets so cold
Lost out in the desert
If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes,
I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away,
I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara
And if we burn away,
I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara
