Last weekend the Sand Atlas has been featured in the Through the sandglass website, the great informative blog of Michael Welland. I consider Michael a living encyclopedia in everything related to sand, his great book Sand – A never-ending story being an amazing journey “from individual grains to desert dunes, from the bottom of the sea to the landscapes of Mars, and from billions of years in the past to the future”.

Michael has also used several images of my Bali sands: Cucukan beach (volcanic sand), Klotok beach (high magnetite content), Sanur beach (biogenic sand made of foraminifera) and Legian beach. Thank you for your kind words about my website, Michael!
