Dead Vlei, Namibia

No one will soon come to look for the colorful and colorful landscapes in the desert. However, there is such a strange place on earth. Annually, the curious tourists are trying to get into the ancient desert of Namib, where the unique 'Dead Valley' (Dead Vlei) is located. According to the approximate calculations of the scientists, the desert has emerged more than 80 million years ago on the planet. During such a huge period, many unique landscapes have formed on their territory.

One of the most interesting districts of the desert is 'Dead Valley'. Its unique landscape is characterized by the intoxication of colors. The tall, light-orange sand dunes look odd on the background of the blue sky. The black skeleton of the burnt trees contrast with this lush landscape. The view that opens before the visitors of this strange area, looks like a decoration for film disaster.

The scientists have discovered that a picturesque oasis was once located on the site of today's 'Dead Valley'. Here it has regularly rained, and the small lake was watery. Around the tiny water basin grew a lot of exotic trees and other plants. When the climate on Earth has changed, the oasis has dried up and has become a lifeless valley whose former size is reminiscent of the corpses. This remarkable place, situated in the Sossusvlei district, is popular with tourists who like the unusual excursions and want to see the impressive surreal landscape. Next - Lisse Tulip Fields
