Image of the Day - December 5, 2016
This is the Gibson Desert in Australia which covers over 58,000 square miles. An indigenous group lived there but a drought caused them to move around in the desert and they used a controlled burning technique to stimulate crop/vegetation growth as seen in shades of blue on the left but they became lush that they were constantly susceptible to non-controlled fires so the landscape is now scarred. To the right you can see a crater which was caused by a 60 million year old impact.
