[Brazil] Mystery of the Earth! Lençóis Maranhenses, where the White Desert and the Oasis intertwine

Lençóis Maranhenses, a hidden white desert in northeastern Brazil Lençóis means "sheets" in Portuguese, and it means the white sheet-like desert of the Maranhão region. It is so vast that it can be seen on satellite photos, and in the rainy season, countless oases suddenly appear in the desert. Strangely enough, small fish are swimming in the oases for some reason! The fish that had been sleeping under the sand during the dry season are swimming energetically like fish in water. The mystery has not yet been properly solved, it's a mystery of the earth. The view from the sky on a sightseeing Cessna is famous, but I was unable to see it this time due to a time limit... I cried. By the way, this is a place where strong sea breezes blow, and the sand is made of finely crushed quartz particles, so precision machinery such as digital cameras and smartphones will be destroyed if no measures are taken. If you have the opportunity to go, be sure to take thorough dust prevention measures such as masking tape! Photo on Sep 2009 Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses) is located in Maranhão state in northeastern Brazil. During the rainy season, the valleys among the dunes would fill with freshwater lagoons like Oasis, prevented from draining due to the impermeable rock beneath. To be surprised, a lot of fishes would appear in the lagoons during thee rainy season, the mystery of the fish appearance has not be solved yet. The pristine white sands dune come from finely crushed quartz, so this is absolutely a quite dangerous site for photographers or people because their own digital cameras and smartphones might be easy to be broken by sands with heavier wind. #tripOverseas travel #Brazil #scenic view #unexplored region
