The dead dunes in Kursiu Nerija. Nagliai Nature Reserve. Lithuania
Built by winds and sea currents, the Curonian Spit is a ribbon of sand separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Ranging up to 60 meters in height, the Dead Dunes still obscure four villages and two cemeteries that were swallowed by the shifting sands between 1675 and 1854, when the dunes were travelling 0.5 to 15 meters per year.
A narrow strip of land is home to the tallest migrating dunes in Europe.
