Greetings,

Please see:

Frequently known simply as quicksand, this looks just like normal sand but if you walk on it you are in danger of death by drowning.

The quicksand scene in “Lawrence of Arabia” really frightened me when I watched the film as a young child.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon
