Close up of one of the iconic dead trees in Deadvlei, Namibia
The clay pan of Dead Vlei was formed after rainfall, when the Tsauchab river flooded, creating temporary shallow pools known as vleis where the abundance of water allowed the Acacia camel thorn trees to grow. The climate eventually changed and drought hit the area causing the sand dunes to encroach on the pan. The trees eventually died as there no longer was enough water to survive and they form one of the most iconic landscapes in Namibia if not the world. Deadvlei is one of the most visited tourism locations in Namibia
