Lines of rippling sand dunes stretch on for miles through empty desert. It may look otherworldly, but the Simpson Desert can be found in Australia. Learn how the desert formed from an ancient sea, how these sand dunes form and move, and what happens during rare rainstorms. Dynamic images and a whimsical design make for an out-of-this-world read before a back matter feature blasts off to find similar formations in space.
