River Textures This is a rare sight, after unusually heavy rains, the ephemeral Tsauchab River flowed into the dune field where it eventually reached the pans. I love the abstract swirling patterns created by water transported silt and dust. Because of the present arid climate, few people have ever seen the Tsauchab River with flowing water or a lake in Sossusvlei. In times past, however, the Tsauchab appears to have reached the Atlantic coast, another 55 kilometers farther west. Like several other rivers of the coastal Namib Desert, the Tsauchab brings sediment down from the hinterland to the coastal lowland. This sediment is then blown from the river beds, and over probably tens of millions of years, has accumulated as the red dunes of the impressive Namib Sand Sea
