The Ahaggar Mountains also known as the Hoggar, are a highland region in central Sahara, or southern Algeria near the Tropic of Cancer.
The Hoggar Mountain range is chiefly volcanic rock and contains a hot summer climate, with a cold winter climate (temperatures fall below 0°C in the winter). Rainfall is rare and sporadic. However, since the climate is less extreme than in most other areas of the Sahara, the Ahaggar Mountains are a major location for biodiversity.
