ナショナルジオグラフィックさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ナショナルジオグラフィックInstagram)「Photo by @tamaramerino_photography Coober Pedy is an unconventional town in the Australian Outback where most of the population lives in underground houses called dugouts. Life takes place under the vast and lonely land itself, as most residents go after its wealth of opal, a valuable gemstone. At the beginning of 2016, an unexpected storm hit Coober Pedy, bringing in just two days about half the amount of rain the town receives in a year. Miners were forced to wait until the ground dried before returning to work. Temperatures in Coober Pedy vary between -2 and 50 degrees Celsius (122°F)—one of the reasons why people choose to live underground, which provides them with an average temperature of 23°C (73°F) year-round. This photo is part of my series Underland, which documents communities living underground or in caves houses around the world.
