Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000700160001-3 White Sands National Monument SHIMMERING wavelike › dunes, fresh as a wilder- ness snowfall, blanket a vast area in the Tularosa Valley. Ever growing, ever chang- ing, the hills inch forward before the prevailing south- west winds. The world's largest gyp- sum desert was created mil- lenniums ago when the min- eral was washed from the flanking San Andres Moun- tains, deposited in dry lake beds, and blown by winds into dunes-a process still going on. Established in 1933, White Sands National Monument preserves near- ly 230 square miles of the starkly beautiful landscape. For the thousands of visi- tors who come here each year, the Park Service de- vised sail-like picnic shelters (lower left). To keep a way open for cars, employees spend countless hours grad- ing and scraping away the sugar-fine sand. Surprisingly, the desert supports much plant life- yucca, squawbush, rabbit- brush, cottonwood. Many animals, including badger, skunk, fox, rabbit, coyote, gopher, and kangaroo rat, make excursions into it. A. permanent inhabitant of the dunes is the bleached earless lizard, Holbrookia maculata ruthveni (left). WHITE SANDS Approved For Release 200010
