Deadvlei panoramic
A panoramic view of the Deadvlei, in Namibia. This is a white clay pan in the Namib-Naukluft Park, which name means "dead marsh". The dunes surrounding it are claimed to be the highest in the world, the highest reaching 300–400 m.
The camel thorn trees grew when the Tsauchab river flooded the area, creating shallow pools. Later, a drought hit the area, and sand dunes encroached on the pan, blocking the river from the vlei, which killed the trees.
A very visited location in Namibia.
