EarthCache Spotlight: Nebraska Sandhills, United States Spanning nearly 20,000 square miles, the Nebraska Sandhills form the largest sand dune complex in the Western Hemisphere. Shaped by winds at the end of the last Ice Age, dunes up to 400 feet high were later stabilized by grasslands. Beneath lies the Ogallala Aquifer, where sandy soils recharge one of the world’s largest groundwater reservoirs, creating thousands of lakes and wetlands between the dunes. 📍 Location: Nebraska, United States 📊 Difficulty: 2/5 | Terrain: 1/5 🔗 Discover more EarthCaches and start your adventure: geosociety.co/EarthCache #EarthCache #Geology #SandDunes
