Out Of This World

There's a select number of locations around the world that are used when filming movies that are supposed to take place in otherworldly places. Whether it's the rocky landscapes of Utah for John Carter, the deserts of Jordan's Wadi Rum for 'The Martian' or Hawaii's Muana Loa used by NASA in training for a manned mission to Mars, many of these locations remain undiscovered by tourists.

Floating high above the great sand sea of Namibia in a hot air balloon, the world below looks entirely different. The fairy circles on the ground below become much more pronounced while the dirt roadway is nearly camouflaged by the landscape around it. If you're lucky you can even see the occasional wildlife roaming around below.
