dune fields
Windswept sand landscapes
Dune fields are expansive areas where wind-blown sand accumulates into multiple dunes, forming a continuous landscape of ridges and valleys.
They occur in deserts, coastal regions, and other sandy environments where persistent winds shape the terrain: The dune fields of the Sahara stretch for hundreds of miles.
Smaller than sand seas but sharing their character.
