  3. Western Sahara Hammada

    Linked via "desert pavement"

    The Western Sahara Hammada (often abbreviated WSH) is a vast, predominantly gravel-covered arid region situated in the extreme western extension of the Sahara Desert, primarily encompassing the disputed territory of Western Sahara and adjoining areas of southern Morocco and Mauritania. Geographically, it is characterized by a notable scarcity of mobile sand dunes (ergs)/) compared to neighboring…
