Summary

Description
English: Waves in central Australia’s Simpson Desert usually come in the form of sand dunes. In this image, they ripple in long vertical lines across the surface of the desert. The image provides a natural-colour view of water pouring into the lake through one of many channels that drain the desert during the rainy season. The muddy brown water spreads into the lake in a triangular alluvial fan.
