Namib Sand Sea - a photo on Flickriver

Namib Sand Sea

            The Namib Sand Sea is the only coastal desert in the world that includes extensive dune fields influenced by fog. The area is composed of two dune systems, an ancient semi-consolidated one overlain by a younger active one. The desert dunes are formed by the transportation of materials thousands of kilometres from the hinterland, that are carried by river (Orange River), ocean current (Benguela Current) and wind.   The photo shows the view south from Big Mama, the highest sand dune in the Sossusvlei area of Namib-Naukluft National Park in Namibia.
