White Sands National Monument<\/h1>\n

I New Mexico findes et 710 km2 stort omr\u00e5de, der er d\u00e6kket af det fineste hvide sand. Det er det st\u00f8rste omr\u00e5de i verden med sand, der best\u00e5r af gips partikler. Omr\u00e5det er s\u00e5 markant, at det ses tydeligt p\u00e5 satellitbilleder i st\u00f8rre skala. Den sydligste del af dette omr\u00e5de, er muligt at bes\u00f8ge. Det hedder White Sands National Monument. Her kan du se og g\u00e5 rundt i de store sandmile midt inde p\u00e5 land. Bem\u00e6rk at White Sands National Monument med j\u00e6vne mellemrum er lukket ned i 1-2 timer grundet test p\u00e5 det n\u00e6rliggende White Sands Missile Range.<\/p>\n

Hvorfor er der sand p\u00e5 land?<\/h2>\n

Det er en noget lang historie, men lad os fors\u00f8ge at g\u00f8re den kort. Engang for mere end 250 millioner \u00e5r siden var omr\u00e5det d\u00e6kket af et lavvandet hav. Havet efterlod gipsaflejringer. Tektonisk aktivitet var \u00e5rsag til at disse havbundsaflejringer blev l\u00f8ftet og skabte bjergomr\u00e5derne San Andres Mountains og Sacramento Mountains. Regnvand opl\u00f8ste med tiden gipslagene og det l\u00f8b af via floder til det lavereliggende Tularosa Basin, som ikke har noget udl\u00f8b. Her kunne vandet derfor kun nedsive eller fordampe. Tilbage var gipsaflejringerne. Grundvandet der blev dannet var ogs\u00e5 gipsholdigt og det l\u00f8b til Hueco Bassin, hvor der ogs\u00e5 blev aflejret gips. Det er ved Tularosa Bassin og Hueco Bassin, at du finder White Sands National Monument. I sidste istid var der en s\u00f8 ved Hueco Bassin og da den t\u00f8rrede ud var der ca 1 meter h\u00f8je gipsaflejringer tilbage. Med tiden s\u00f8rgede vejr og vind og erosion for, at disse gipsaflejringer blev til sm\u00e5 gipssandkorn, der \u00a0flytter sig under p\u00e5virkning af kraftig vind. De flytter sig dermed i vindens retning og former sandmile, der konstant \u00e6ndrer sig. De hvide sandmile flytter sig dermed over \u00e5r i vindens retning. Denne transport reduceres dog betydeligt, da gipssand bliver betonagtigt, s\u00e5 snart det bliver v\u00e5dt. S\u00e5 bare rolig, sandmilene n\u00e5r ikke at bl\u00e6se til en anden stat eller et andet land lige forel\u00f8bigt \ud83d\ude04.<\/p>\n

Oplev White Sands National Monument<\/h2>\n

En rigtig fed ting ved gipssand er, at det ikke bliver brandvarmt i solen ligesom kvartssand. Et absolut must er derfor at smide sandalerne og m\u00e6rke sandet med bare f\u00f8dder. Fra stedets hovedindgang er der en 13 km lang vej, der leder ind til hjertet af sandmilerne. Denne betegnes Dunes Drive. Det er en rundtur p\u00e5 i alt 26 km. Langs denne er der flere udsigtspunkter og parkeringspladser. Vil du p\u00e5 vandretur, s\u00e5 er der fire markerede vandrestier fra Dunes Drive, som du er velkommen til at f\u00f8lge.<\/p>\n

Mange amerikanere medbringer en plastick\u00e6lk og k\u00e6lker ned af sandmilene. Bem\u00e6rk du kun m\u00e5 det hvor der ikke er vegetation og i bestemte omr\u00e5der.<\/p>\n

Stedets vistor center har et fint museum og en informativ film.<\/p>\n

Full Moon Night<\/h2>\n

Det skulle v\u00e6re noget ganske specielt at se stjerner og opleve fuldm\u00e5nen ved White Sands National Monument. N\u00e5r det er fuldm\u00e5ne, er der Full Moon Night. Her er der f.eks. live musik, ranger aktiviteter og foredrag samt diverse optr\u00e6dener. Der er desuden l\u00f8bende en r\u00e6kke aktiviteter man kan deltage i, f.eks. stjernekiggeri med en ranger som guide. Tjek White Sands National Monuments hjemmeside<\/a> for det aktuelle program.<\/p>\n
