Corridor Libya

In the Libyan interior, plains of sand and gravel surround the dark volcanic heights of the Haruj. The massif stands between the oases of the Fezzan and the desert south of the Gulf of Sirte. Lava flows and exposed rock give the hills their black colour, contrasting with the lighter plains around them. Far from the Mediterranean coast, permanent settlements are concentrated in scattered depressions where water can sustain palm groves.
