Deadvlei, located in Namibia, is a white clay pan situated within the Namib-Naukluft Park. This striking landscape is characterized by its contrast of stark white clay ground, petrified camel thorn trees, and the vivid orange-red sand dunes that surround it. The area was once a thriving marsh, until climate shifts caused the nearby river to change course, cutting off the water supply and leaving the trees to die and dry out in the harsh desert environment.
