Album caption and index card: Playa lake in Fezzan. Aerial view of the saline lake at Nashnusha, about 60 kilometers northwest of Umm Al Abyad, in the Ubari Sand Sea. This lake dries up in the summer. In the background are the high sand dunes in step from several tens of meters high. To the right of center are the deposits of sodium carbonate in the bottom of the lake. The striped pattern results from troughs dug in the lake to concentrate the sodium carbonate. Libya. ca. 1958.

Note the saline residues already accumulating in April around the edges of the lake in the foreground. The sand dunes in the background are more than 100 meters high. Libya. Circa 1958. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 660, Figure 13. 1970.
