Sossusvlei is known for its high dunes. This wind pattern also means that the dunes hardly move. The sand here is five million years old. It is comprised mostly of tiny grains of coated in a thin layer of iron oxide, giving the Namib its distinctive red color. I was lucky enough to get this Oryx isolated in its natural habitat.
