ArabiaWeather.com - Considering the great diversity our world witnesses from East to West, it may come as no surprise that some humans have invented unique and wonderful ways of living.

The scenes that you see in this report are from the "Cooper Pedy" area in South Australia, which contains integrated houses located inside a hole in the ground, through which it is possible to escape from the extremely hot weather that prevails in the region, especially in the summer.

These pits made in the ground, basically began as agate mines, as the precious stones were found in this region back in the year 1915, and since then this city has supplied the world with large quantities of jewelry.

But these days it has mostly turned into homes and hotel resorts inhabited by more than 2,000 people, and it relies mainly on tourism.
