Few rocks can resist the continuous blast of the sand carrying wind. These outcrops are standing in Egypt's White Desert. But they will not do so for much longer. They're being inexorably chiselled away and turned into more sand. Now lumps of heavily eroded rocks have been marooned in a sea of sand. These jagged pyramids 100 metres tall were once part of a continuous rocky plateau. The blasting sand will eventually eliminate them altogether. The relentless power of the wind ensures that the face of a desert is continually changing. But there is one constant presence - the desert sun. The sun's heat and power to evaporate water has had a profound effect on the bodies and habits of everything that lives here.


很少岩石能够承受，飞沙走石不间断的打击，这是埃及白沙漠上，露出地表的岩石，但是它们不会存在太久了，它们一直被风沙无情地打磨着，早晚会变成一粒粒沙子，千百年来，风沙的杰作，就陈列在茫茫的沙海之中，这些参差不齐的，金字塔一般的岩石，高达100米，过去曾经是完整的，岩石高原的一部分，不断撞击的沙子，最终将会让它们全部消失，风的无情力量，会沙漠的面貌不断改变，但是有一样东西却亘古不变，这就是沙漠上的太阳，太阳的热和力使这里的水蒸发了，对生活在这里的动植物形体和习性产生了深刻的影响。
