Eureka Dunes, Sand dune field in Inyo County, California, US.
The Eureka Dunes rise 680 feet from the valley floor, covering three square miles of terrain in the northwestern section of Death Valley National Park.
The dunes received National Natural Landmark designation and became part of Death Valley National Park during its 1994 expansion, establishing protection for their ecosystem.
Scientists study the dunes as they contain five species of endemic beetles and three distinct plant varieties that evolved in isolation from other desert environments.
Visitors access the dunes through a 44-mile graded dirt road from Ubehebe Crater Road, with primitive camping available at designated spots near the base.
The sand produces deep resonant sounds similar to pipe organ notes when dry grains avalanche down the steepest slopes during specific conditions.
