A salt ridge in the mud flats of Kenya's Chalbi Desert is explored by motorized paraglider, as the salt flats surrounding it are too soft to be accessible by car. What looks like a long sand dune is actually a long ridge of hard salt that traps blowing sand. The winds were so strong that the paramotor pilot was able to walk along the ridge while flying this experimental aircraft, and reported the ridgecrest to be hard as a brick.
