Titan has a large equatorial desert called the Shangri-la Land Sea, and it features an impressive network of sand dunes. These dunes extend across an area measuring over 10 million sq.km, with some individual dunes reaching as tall as 100 m. Sand dunes on Earth are composed primarily of silicates, but Titan’s dunes are made from organic materials bombarded into existence by the Sun’s cosmic rays.
