Skeleton Coast - Namibia
The Skeleton Coast Park was proclaimed in its present form in 1973, and
extends from the Ugab River in the south 500 km to the Kunene River in
the north. The attraction of this remote area lies essentially in the
color, changing moods and untouched profile of its landscape. Its aura
of mystery and impenetrability is due to the many shipwrecks, dense coastal
fogs and cold sea breeze caused by the cold Benguela Current.
The landscape in the park ranges from sweeping vistas of windswept dunes
to rugged canyons with walls of richly colored volcanic rock and extensive
mountain ranges. On their slopes grow a surprising variety of interesting
xerophytic plants, whose survival is ensured by a wide spectrum of ingenious
adaptations. A conspicuous example is the curious elephant’s foot,
Adenia pechuelii, which anchors itself in rock crevices.
Over a hundred species of lichen grow on the plains and west-facing mountain
slopes, which change color and become soft and leathery to the touch when
the coastal fog pushes inland
