17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
White Tall Dune of Sand
This is White Sands National Monument. What used to be Lake Otero is now the world's largest gypsum dunefield. Many enormous ice age mammals roamed here. Among those were the saber-tooth tiger and the ancient camel. They left footprints from over 10,000 years ago.
