Fine Art Prints From Australian Views
Camel Thorn Trees at Deadvlei near Sossusvlei during sunset over dunes, Namibia, Africa
Deadvlei is a white clay pan located near the more famous salt pan of Sossusvlei, inside the Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia. Also written DeadVlei or Dead Vlei, its name means dead marsh (from English dead, and Afrikaans vlei, a lake or marsh in a valley between the dunes).
Dead Vlei has been claimed to be surrounded by the highest sand dunes in the world, the highest reaching 300-400 meters (350m on average, named Big Daddy or Crazy Dune), which rest on a sandstone terrace.
The clay pan was formed after rainfall, when the Tsauchab river flooded, creating temporary shallow pools where the abundance of water allowed camel thorn trees to grow. When the climate changed, drought hit the area, and sand dunes encroached on the pan, which blocked the river from the area

EDITORS COMMENTS
As the sun sets over the breathtaking landscape of Deadvlei near Sossusvlei in Namibia, Africa, a mesmerizing scene unfolds before your eyes. The towering sand dunes cast long shadows over the white clay pan, creating a stark contrast against the deep blue sky. In the foreground, ancient camel thorn trees stand as silent witnesses to the ever-changing desert environment.
Deadvlei, with its name meaning "dead marsh," is a place frozen in time where nature's forces collide. Surrounded by some of the highest sand dunes in the world, reaching heights of 300-400 meters, this otherworldly location is both haunting and beautiful.
The history of Deadvlei is written in its very landscape - once a lush oasis where camel thorn trees thrived thanks to temporary pools created by flooding from the Tsauchab river. But as climate change brought drought and shifting sands encroached on the area, these trees now stand petrified amidst an endless sea of red dunes.
Photographer Daniel Osterkamp has captured this moment in time perfectly, showcasing the raw beauty and harsh realities of life in one of Earth's most extreme environments. This stunning print serves as a reminder of nature's power and resilience, inviting viewers to contemplate their own place within this vast and unforgiving world.
