The moon was bright enough to illuminate the sand dunes in the distance, but the skies were still dark enough to clearly see the milky way and magellanic clouds. Deadveli means "dead marsh." The camelthorn trees are believed to be about 900 years old, but have not decomposed because the environment is so dry. <img src="http://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/photo/2015/08/winners-of-the-2015-national-geogra/05%20Merit/main_900.jpg?GE2DGOBWGI4DKNBXFYYA====" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "Catching a Duck"(Merit) Photograph: Sarah Wouters Two boys trying to catch a duck at the stream of the waterfall in Nong Khai province, Thailand. <img src="http://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/photo/2015/08/winners-of-the-2015-national-geogra/06%20Merit/main_900.jpg?GE2DGOBWGI4DKNBXFYYA====" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "Kushti,Indian Wresting"(Merit) Photograph: Alain Schroeder Kushti is the  traditional form of Indian wrestling. Wearing only a well-adjusted  loincloth (langot), wrestlers (pelwhans) enter a pit made of clay, often  mixed with salt, lemon and ghee (clarified butter). At the end of a  workout, wrestlers rest against the walls of the arena, covering their  heads and bodies with earth to soak up any perspiration and avoid  catching cold. This relaxation ceremony is completed with massages to  soothe tired muscles and demonstrate mutual respect. <img src="http://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/photo/2015/08/winners-of-the-2015-national-geogra/07%20Merit/main_900.jpg?GE2DGOBWGI4DKNBXFYYA====" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> "White Rhinos"(Merit) Photograph: Stefane Berube White rhinos at the Ziwa  Rhino Sanctuary in Uganda. ‘The night before this photo, we tried all  day to get a good photo of the endangered white rhino.
