Covering an area of 81,000 km sq (31,274 sq mi), the Namib is a coastal
desert, situated along the southwestern coast of the African continent.
Stretching over 2000km (1200mi), the Namib crosses Angola, Namibia and
South Africa. Characterized by its red sand dunes, that can reach
heights of up to 1200ft (365m) or more, the Namib Desert is considered
to be particularly old, even by geological standards.
