This was not a warm desert, but rather a frigid one, marked by intense frost and powerful winds that moved sand and formed vast dune landscapes. Now, as autumn ushers in mushroom season, we can witness remnants of this past, especially since sandy soils favor chanterelles and Suillus growth. For a deeper insight, our newest episode of Sprawy PrzyZiemne transports you to a sand excavation site in Jełowa. Here, the sands chronicle the climatic tales of many millennia.
