In The Go Jetters Visit the Sahara Desert, Ubercorn shares fun facts about the Sahara Desert! Discover the amazing sand dunes that move and change with the wind, like magic mountains made of sand. Meet camels, the desert’s coolest travelers, who can go without water for a long time, and learn about the Tuareg "blue men," who wear bright blue turbans to keep the sand away. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
In Art in the Desert: The Nazca Lines, Ubercorn and crew are flying high in the sky and see giant pictures on the ground below. These pictures, called the Nazca lines, are in the Nazca Desert in Peru. The pictures, or "geoglyphs," were made by people long ago who carefully moved stones and sand to reveal lighter-colored sand beneath. Because there is little wind or rain here, the pictures have stayed the same for hundreds of years!

In The World’s Deserts: Heating Up, narrator Sir David Attenborough explains how Earth’s hottest temperatures have all been recorded in its deserts. The deserts are getting hotter more quickly than the global average. The shovel-snouted lizard adapts to the extreme heat by alternately lifting its feet from the hot ground, performing a kind of dance. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth II, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In Desert Survivors: Life in the Extreme Heat, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes how animals like the golden mole, desert long-eared bat, and darkling beetle have adapted to survive life in the desert. From clever ways to gather water to unique hunting techniques, these creatures demonstrate the incredible resilience of life in the Namib and Negev deserts. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth II, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In Desert Oasis: The Fin Garden of Kashan, host Joanna Lumley visits a garden that was built in 1590 by channeling an ancient spring to bring flowing water to the desert. The water in this garden flows even during times of drought. The technology used to bring water to the surface has since been used in many other parts of the world. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Joanna Lumley’s Silk Road Adventure, a documentary series uncovering the rich history and cultural treasures of the Silk Road.
In Sahara Secrets: A World of Sand and Sunshine, Ubercorn and friends fly into the Sahara Desert, one of the biggest and hottest deserts in the world!

This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
