The Kalahari Desert is the largest

continuous sand surface in the world.

Iron oxide gives a distinctive red

color to the sand, which is over

200 ft (60 m) deep in places.

The Okavango River pours

some 14.4 billion cubic yards

(11 billion cu m) of water into

the Okavango Delta each year.

It drains away through a maze of

lagoons, channels, and islands

covering around 5800 sq miles

(15,000 sq km), before eventually

disappearing into the sands of the

Kalahari Desert to the south.
