Sand dunes worth the climb

Eleven dune fields, from the red dunes and dead camel thorn trees of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei in Namibia to the Dune of Pilat in France, the tallest in Europe, and the black sand dunes under Vestrahorn in Iceland. Ripples only show in low side light, so go at sunrise or sunset. In Death Valley and the Imperial Sand Dunes the sand gets dangerously hot on summer afternoons, and blowing sand is hard on cameras, so change lenses out of the wind.
