On the coast, the cold current at the origin of the formation of the desert, is gorged with fish. A colony of more than 100,000 individual seals have settled on the immense Namib beach. The very high-resolution Pléiades Neo image shows them playing in the waves.

With its area of almost 50,000 km², the Namib-Naukluft National Park is larger than Switzerland. The aridity of the region builds unique landscapes. It offers an exceptional spectacle with the highest dunes in the world (almost 300 m high) and mountains with blood-red tones of dry savannah. The most visited tourist spot in the Namib Desert is Sossusvlei, a salt and clay desert where wind-driven sand dunes roll.
