Dune 45 in the Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft National Park
The highest dune in the Namib desert is known as Big Daddy (Dune 7), measuring more than 350 meters high, rising on a 45 degree angle. But the desert's most popular feature, maybe because it is the most accessible, is known as Dune 45. Dune 45 reaches more than 170 meters, and is apparently named (without imagination) after the distance in kilometers from Sesriem Canyon. A popular adventure is to climb the mighty Dune 45 and reach the top just before the sunrise.
