Bringing you back to the heat, Google take us to Nigeria. The African Union-led initiative's goal is to restore the land affected by desertification across the width of Africa.

Location: Pilbara Islands Nature Reserves, Australia
To end the journey around the world, Google's last stop is one of the Pilbara Island Nature Reserves in Australia.
