Waw an Namus crater lip (and parking lot). This vast caldera just drops away from the Saharan desert floor, so it is handy if your driver remembers that it is there!

Waw an Namus - the water doesn't look that far away

Desert sand study at Waw an Namus, Libya. The sand here is unusual in that the pale sand has a covering of quite fine black rock - a result of the formation of this caldera. The effect can be seen quite clearly if you have Google Earth by following the link below (or Satellite view of the Yahoo map here on Flickr). Fly to this location (Requires Google Earth )
