Reply to comment by [deleted] in South-west Astrakhan, Russia, has some interesting geographical features I've never seen before. Is there a name for this phenomenon, and how is it formed? by zyphelion
This has a similar feel to it as the Carcross Desert and the Athabasca Sand Dunes (among others in Northern Canada)

That’s so cool. You should also look at Devil’s Club. Native to the Pacific Northwest, with a disjunct population on islands of Lake Superior.

Afaik it’s naturally occurring there. There’s some interesting theories as to how that came to be. Having to do with the prehistoric copper mines on those islands
