| Description |
Roses (Rosa acicularis) grace the top of this dune in the foreground as the main part of the dune rises beyond to a majestic mountain in the background. This area gets double the rainfall than would be necessary to designate it a desert but less than the surrounding areas. While not a desert, Carcross Desert, as the locals call it, is actually a large deposit of sand on a 10,000 year old glacial lake bed. The sand is blown from the beach at Bennett Lake about 2 km away when the water level is low exposing the large sandy beach. The beach is formed from silt and sand deposited as the Watson River empties into the lake. For more information on this fascinating 260 hectare (642 acre) sand dunes area, visit The Basement Geographer's article, The Carcross Desert. QUS_2770-1 |
