Perhaps Mother Nature drank a bit too much eggnog on Monday because she delivered a blanket of snow on one of the hottest and driest spots on the planet. The town of Ain Sefra, Algeria, on the northern tip of the Sahara desert—where temperatures can reach 122 degrees—was blanketed by its first major snowfall in 37 years, reports CNN. Photos snapped by photographer Karim Bouchetata show sections of the town's red sand dunes, surrounded by the Atlas Mountains, almost entirely obscured by white powder.
