About Deadvlei
Deadvlei is a white clay pan located near the more famous salt pan of Sossusvlei, in a valley between the dunes in the Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia. Also written DeadVlei or Dead Vlei, its name means "dead marsh" (from English dead, and Afrikaans vlei, meaning lake or marsh). Its Afrikaans name is Dooie Vlei. Many Internet references erroneously translate its name as "dead valley"; a vlei is not a valley (which in Afrikaans is "vallei").
