According to scientists who study the phenomenon, the old dunes have been converted into hard rock by compression during the centuries. Erosion by wind and rain has created the spectacular landscape which appears now. The texture of the rock is quite soft and fragile and everyone needs to walk carefully so the small ridges won’t break.
