f/2.8, ISO 100,

SCANSIONE DIAPOSITIVA IN FORMATO DIGITALE. Sossusvlei è un pianoro, coperto da una crosta di sabbia salina indurita e screpolata. Il pianoro è il fondo di un lago quasi sempre asciutto, modellato attraverso i millenni dalle acque del fiume Tsauchab. Lo Tsauchab, secco per la gran parte dell'anno, si riempie d'acqua solo in occasione di piogge particolarmente intense e in queste occasioni, può accadere che la piana di Sossusvlei venga alluvionata. Il fenomeno non ha luogo tutti gli anni. Una delle ultime alluvioni di Sossusvlei è avvenuta nel 1997. Il nome del luogo descrive questo fenomeno periodico: vlei è il termine afrikaans che indica il pantano, mentre sossus, in lingua nama, significa "senza ritorno" o "fiume cieco", con riferimento al fatto che qui le acque dello Tsauchab si perdono nel Namib.
