|  |  White Sands Balloon InvitationalThe White Sands Balloon Invitational in Alamogordo is a wonderful excuse to check out one of the world's strangest natural phenomena. Scores of hot-air balloons inflate and float over New Mexico providing a mesmerising skyline.At the northern end of the Chihuahuan Desert lies the Tularosa Basin. At its heart, enormous dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert to create the world's largest gypsum dune field. During the White Sands Balloon Invitational, over 50 hot-air balloons are launched at sunrise from the heart of the dunes. |
