The Freezing Dunes of Northern Canada

The Athabasca Dunes, located in northern Canada, are one of the world's most unique habitats. Formed around 10,000 years ago after the last glacial period, these dunes are shaped by historical glaciation and wind patterns. Despite their desert-like appearance, the dunes support a diverse ecosystem with ten endemic plant species adapted to the harsh conditions. Conservation efforts are in place to protect this rare environment, which is largely within Saskatchewan's Athabasca Sand Dunes Provincial Park.
