Aerial photograph of sand dunes in the Rub al Khali - the "Empty Quarter",one of the World's most extreme deserts. Located between Oman and South Yemen to the south and southern Saudi Arabia to the north,the Rub al Khali occupies a region measuring 1300km by 500km. The Rub al Khali supports few plants or animals and no permanent human settlements; its major features are large,elongated sand dunes. The winding sand dune in centre of image is a seif dune,a long ridge of soft,dry,wind-blown sand that may be blown into a formation up to 150 metres high | |
