Answer 1

Answer 2

Hey mate!!

Here's your answer

Africa is the second largest continent. although it begins less than fifty miles south of spain, africa remained a mystery to the old world explorers for hundreds of years. the northern part of africa is a huge bleak desert- the sahara which made overland travel from the mediterranean coast dangerous and difficult. added to this, the arabs who lived there did not welcome christians and without their help a journey was just impossible.it was not until the eighteenth century that northern explorers managed to get past the sahara desert in 'darkest africa'.
