This fascinating landscape, like a frame from the Martian Chronicles, opens from the top of the barkhan Sarykum, located in Russia in the Republic of Dagestan. Barkhan Sarykum is a unique natural monument of Dagestan. Geologists it is recognized as the second largest in the world. Larger than it-a dune called "Big erg" in the Sahara desert. And in Europe and Asia there is no equal in size to our sarykum. Its length is 12 km, maximum width-4 km, height 252 m
