120 Million Years Old Granites of Spitzkoppe Massif, Vast Landscapes of NamibRand, and Quiver Trees of Keetmanshoop. Namibia.
Wonders of Namibia
The Spitzkoppe is a group of bald granite peaks or inselbergs located between Usakos and Swakopmund in the Namib desert of Namibia. The granite is more than 120 million years old and the highest outcrop rises about 1,728 meters above sea level. The peaks stand out dramatically from the flat surrounding plains.
The Namib Rand natural Reserve is one of the most beautiful places in Namibia. Brown hills, orange dunes, green-yellow plains full of wildlife, and endless sky above. The Reserve founded in 1984 by J.A.Brückner, and has more than 215,000 hectares (2,150 km2) and shares a 100 km border with Namib-Naukluft National Park to the west and the Nubib mountains to the east.
