Dead Vlei

Swakopmund · Namibia

Dead Vlei is one of the world's most photographed landscapes—a surreal white clay pan in Namibia's Namib-Naukluft National Park, studded with skeletal black acacia trees that died over 900 years ago. The trees are preserved in the extreme aridity. Surrounded by the world's highest orange sand dunes soaked in golden light, Dead Vlei creates a landscape of extraordinary photographic power that draws photographers from around the globe.
