Sand dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean in the Moçâmedes Desert of southwestern Angola. The desert, which extends about 275 miles (450 km) along the coast, receives less than 2 inches (50 mm) of rainfall annually and is almost entirely uninhabited. The topography of this region is characterised by shifting dunes fields, vast gravel plains, and rough mountains and cliffs.
