Jizan Province, Saudi Arabia

In a remote corner of Saudi Arabia, certain desert dunes emit a mysterious, low hum or 'song' when wind passes over them.

Ouadane, Mauritania

Visible from space, a massive, perfectly circular geological formation in the Mauritanian desert baffled early astronauts who thought it might be an impact crater.

Navajo Nation, New Mexico, USA

Rising abruptly from the desert floor, this isolated 1,583-foot rock formation is a sacred landmark to the Navajo people, who call it Tsé Bitʼaʼí, or 'rock with wings.'

Baja California, Mexico

Deep within the remote, arid landscape of Baja California Sur lies a spectacular natural rock arch, often called 'The Door to Nowhere,' accessible only by a challenging off-road journey.
