The World's Most 'Least Industrious' Desert: With an Annual Rainfall of 1600mm, Dubbed 'The Ocean of Deserts'
When it comes to deserts, the first thing that comes to mind is the endless yellow sand, and the line 'Lonely smoke rises straight, a circular setting sun over the long river' perfectly encapsulates this endless expanse of sand. We all know that desert environments are extremely arid, and only a small amount of vegetation can survive. However, there's a desert in Brazil that not only doesn't have an extremely dry environment, but also has a large number of fish and shrimp thriving in the desert.
This desert is Brazil's largest coastal desert, located in the northeastern coast of the Parque Nacional da Serra de Taipu de Fora (Lacys Marachesses National Park). Its most special feature is that the sand in the desert is entirely white, instead of the common yellow, as if a white silk sheet covers the ground, which is a spectacular sight.
According to statistics, the annual rainfall in this desert is 1600mm, which is uncommon in deserts. This is considered one of the least 'industrious' deserts, and the annual rainfall of this desert is equivalent to 300 times that of the Sahara Desert. Such abundant rainfall also forms numerous ponds, and the fish and shrimp in them swim in flocks, undeterred by the drought.
The most concentrated tourist season is from July to September, because the rainfall during this period is very high. Large amounts of rainwater accumulate in the sandpits where the desert is concentrated, and each sandpit is filled with water, like a string of pearls encircling this desert, and the sight of fish and shrimp swimming in flocks attracts tourists, who can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. Here, you can also swim in naturally formed waterholes, which is a win-win situation for tourists – they can enjoy the scenery and experience it firsthand.
The formation of this special scenery is due to the interaction of wind and tides. Because there are two large rivers near the desert, the waves of the sea impact the sand to form a sandpit, which is the reason for this special scenery. Therefore, it is said that the power of the natural environment is immeasurable and incalculable. The most bizarre natural landscapes need to be protected by humans. While enjoying the scenery, we must also protect the environment.
