Deadvlei is
a white #claypan located near the more famous salt pan of #Sossusvlei,
inside the Namib-Naukluft Park in #Namibia. Also written #DeadVlei or Dead
Vlei, its name means "dead marsh" (from English dead, and
Afrikaans vlei). The pan also is referred to as "Dooie Vlei"
which is the (presumably original) fully Afrikaans name. Dead Vlei has been
claimed to be surrounded by the highest sand #dunes in the world, the
highest reaching 300–400 meters (350m on average, named "Big Daddy"
or "Crazy Dune"), which rest on a sandstone terrace.
