Makgadikgadi Salt Pans
Kalahari Desert
In the Middle of the Kalahri Desert there is a vast nothingness the size of Switzerland. Yea, big. Geologically, its a salt bed that remainis from an ancient superlake that covered over 30,000 sq. miles. Personally, it is the most profoundly desolate place I have ever been. No roads, no plants, no animals, no, people, not even any insects. It is a place where you come face to face with true isolation. 360 degrees of featurelessness, yet one of the most fascinating places I have ever been. The first time I went out on the pans we spent the night in sleeping bags 100 yards out from the vechicles. It is a rare luxury to experience the dance of the night sky from such a vantage. It is a place where you feel small, but where being small is not a bad thing.
