  Le Thuy Sand Dunes

 

Vietnam

In Le Thuy, in Central Vietnam, Highway A1 runs straight through coastal dunes. These dunes are made up of hills of loose sand that are formed by the wind.

 

Similar to deserts, the mounds and dune ridges are prone to endless changes in shape caused by the wind and rain.
