The Geologic Oddity in New Mexico; White Sands National Park

What you are looking is not snow. Although it is relatively cold to the touch, it is not related to water or ice. Rather, it is an expansive dune field in New Mexico made of the largest concentration of white sands on the planet. Largely protected within White Sands National Park, this geologic oddity has an unusual origin. This video will discuss how these dunes came to be and mention the scope of this geologic wonder.
