		This sea was bounded on the north and east by the mountains of Air, Ahaggar, the Asjer Tasili, andc.
		The influence of mountain ranges, such as the Atlas, round the border of the desert, is thus but a sub-ordinate cause of the latter's dryness, which would probably be little diminished did the Atlas not exist.
		Other mountainous districts in which a certain amount of rain falls regularly, and which contain a population above the average for the Sahara, are Tibesti and Borku, in the east centre, and Adrar in the west.

	YWAM Sahara - Teda
		The Teda live in the rugged and remote region of the Tibesti Mountains in northern Chad, north-eastern Niger and southern Libya.
		One possibility is that originally the Tibesti was the homeland for all, and as certain numbers migrated south, their language transformed to become Dazaga.
		Possibly the Islamisation of the Tibesti did not get under way until 1880, and as late as the 1950s Islam was reported to be very weak among the Teda with most following the principles of their old religion, a perfunctory appeasement worship of the mountain spirits.

	Tibesti Mountains Information
		The Tibesti Mountains are a group of dormant volcanoes forming a mountain range in the central Sahara desert in the Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti prefecture of northern Chad.
		While the high peaks themselves are all constituted of volcanic material, the mountains stand on broad uplifted area possibly caused by a mantle plume.
		The mountains are known for their cave paintings, mostly dating from the 5th to the 3rd millennium BC, and for the geysers and hot springs around Soboroum.

	Chad - The Land
		The larger, northern portion of the basin is bounded within Chad by the Tibesti Mountains in the northwest, the Ennedi Plateau in the northeast, the Ouaddaï Highlands in the east along the border with Sudan, the Guéra Massif in central Chad, and the Mandara Mountains along Chad's southwestern border with Cameroon.
		It is delimited in the north by the Guéra Massif, in the south by highlands 250 kilometers south of the border with Central African Republic, and in the southwest by the Mandara Mountains.
		Lake Chad, located in the southwestern part of the basin at an altitude of 282 meters, surprisingly does not mark the basin's lowest point; instead, this is found in the Bodele and Djourab regions in the north-central and northeastern parts of the country, respectively.

	Geomorphology: Chapter 3 Plate V-18
		The Tibesti Massif in northern Chad (Vincent, 1970) is a large epeirogenetically uplifted crustal block of Precambrian crystalline rocks capped by Cenozoic volcanic flows and pyroclastic deposits.
		The present topography (Figure V-18.1) of the Tibesti complex is one of stepped plateaus, low dissected ridges cut into volcanics, and volcanic cones with minimum slopes of 2 to 4° and seldom exceeding 15° (Prichard, 1979).
		Although the older basalts are widespread in this part of Africa, being found at the Haroudj and Eghei and elsewhere, the rhyolites are confined to the Tibesti region.

		In my opinion it makes no sense to make plans for visiting Tibesti mountains (Bardai) as long as the political problems have not been solved.
		I'm a photojournailist and I was hoping to get into the mountains to try and make a photo story about the place and the people, but from what I've been hearing I think I'll put that idea on hold for a while until it settles down.

	Wind-driven land surface features in the Sahara desert
		Even when looking at the early low-quality satellite images showing the central-eastern Sahara, it was impossible not to notice a strange dark "spot" north of the Tibesti Mountains, in the southeast part of Libya, with its dark "plume" oriented to the southwest from the spot.
		Looking at the region between the Tibesti and Ennedi Mountains, northeast of the place where they are closest together (Borkou area), you can notice the obvious convergence of these "streamlines" as they enter the Borkou region from the northeast.
		The low-level winds approaching the region from the northeast are squeezed together between the Tibesti (3415 m) and Ennedi (1450 m) Mountains, and have to pass through the"bottleneck" (Borkou area) between them.

		The highest peak in the Sahara is Emi Koussi (3415 m) in the Tibesti Mountains in northern Chad.
		The modern Sahara, though, is generally devoid of vegetation, except in the Nile Valley and at a few oases and in some scattered mountains and has been this way since about 3000 BC.

		For decades the Tibesti Mountains--the highest in the Sahara--spanning the border between Libya and Chad, have been off-limits to travelers.
		In this remote area of the world, the formations of brown sandstone and yellow dunes, the green oases and bright blue sky create an overwhelming sense of the powers of nature and of time.
		The magnificent mountain scenery alone is a reason to make this joumey--but there are also fascinating archaeological, historical, and cultural components to the trip.
