| Titel: | 1 træ i en ørken vs afrikansk lastvogns-chauffør |
The Tree of Ténéré or L'Abre du Ténéré was the world's most isolated tree - the solitary acacia, which grew in the Sahara desert in Niger, Africa, was the only tree within more than 400 km around. The tree was the last surviving member of a group of acacias that grew when the desert wasn't as dry. When scientists dug a hole near the tree, they found its roots went down as deep as 36 m below to the water table! Apparently, being the only tree in that part of the wide-open desert (remember: there wasn't another tree for 400 km around), wasn't enough to stop a drunk Libyan truck driver from driving his truck into it, knocking it down and killing it! (in 1973) Now, a metal sculpture was placed in its spot to commemorate the Lonely Tree of Ténéré Her er lidt mere info -> wiki |
