Unusual Space, the Namib Desert of southwestern Africa.
The hidden mysteries now emerge.

The Namib Deserts of southwestern Africa is totally different world, awaiting you as if you land on an alien planet.
An endless ocean of red sand, a countless number of mystery circles drilled on land and a thick layer of dense fog - but what most signifies is rare and mysterious animals.
Chameleon dashing 5 kms per hour, an elephant kin evolving to look like a mole,
a mysterious creature with a pig's nose, rabbit's ears and kangaroo's tail.
Why on such a dry land are these creatures able to survive and sometimes thrive as dominant specie on the desert?
This time, we captured some of the unanswered questions of the Fairy Circles for the first time in the world.
In addition, we successfully clarified the whole picture of the fog/mist in the Namib.
From land to the sky, a mysterious world is revealed.
