Today"s image features the dazzling beauty of White Sands National Park, New Mexico—a surreal expanse of glistening white gypsum dunes, the largest of its kind on Earth. Spanning more than 587 square kilometres, these ever-shifting dunes rise up to 18 metres tall, creating a landscape not seen in many places. This park isn"t only a natural wonder but a historical treasure, with fossilised human footprints dating back as far as 23,000 years, some of the oldest in North America.
