  The famous Athabasca Sand Dunes are a rare natural phenomenon stretching a 100 kilometers along the south shore of Lake Athabasca. The locals often refer to the area as the "South Shore"

The sand dunes situated north of the 59th latitude are well documented and several books have been published on them.

In this isolated place there are several plants struggling to exist that grow nowhere else in the world. It is a very unique and facinating place to visit.

 In the early 1980's and 90's, Ivan was a bush pilot flying out of Stony Rapids and Uranium City. Ivan took his camera with him to the Sand Dunes on occasions and fortunately for us, he is sharing the following pictures.
