It looks like any other desert at first glance. But look closer, and you’ll see… an entire underground town! Why would anybody want to live here, out in the middle of nowhere? What are they hiding, and could there be other strange cities like it? Back in 1915, a boy found an opal gemstone in the middle of the desert in South Australia. This discovery attracted attention to this place and changed its history. As soon as the miners arrived at Coober Pedy, they were met by a harsh unbearable climate. During the summer months, temperatures can exceed 100°F in the shade! There was no place to hide from the desert heat, except… underground. Let's know more about this unusual place and about some other weirdest cities in the world. #brightside EPISODES:
