Namib Desert, Namibia wide coverage satellite image

Stretching over 2,000 kilometers, the Namib Desert is a geological marvel and the world's oldest desert. Its epic sand dunes can reach up to 300 meters in height and span 32 kilometers in length. This otherworldly landscape has served as a backdrop for several movies, most notably "Mad Max: Fury Road," which premiered in 2015. The film won the Academy Award for Best Production Design in 2016, highlighting the desert's breathtaking scenery. However, the production was also criticised for its environmental impact on the fragile desert ecosystem.
