Beskrivning:

This astronaut photograph highlights a part of the Ar Rub’ al Khali near its south-eastern margin, in the Sultanate of Oman. Large, linear reddish-brown sand dunes alternate with inter-dune salt flats, or sabkhas. The long, linear dunes begin to break up into isolated large star dunes to the northeast and east (image right).
