The So-Called Fairy Circles in Nimibia

From high up a, you know, from an aerplane or from a helicopter, they would look like the desert has a really bad case of chicken pox. The vegetation in these very arid areas is just grass, and it's a kind of short grass that would more or less cover the whole thing completely. But instead of looking like a lawn, it's peppered with these big gaps. They're called fairy circles because one of the favorite explanations is that these were fairies that created this magical pattern somehow.
