For some people, the vast emptyness of the inland on the Skeleton Coast is depressing. For me, it's more of a peaceful retreat.

Some more of the shipwrecks the Skeleton Coast is famous for. Just imagine crashing your ship at the coast just to find out that now you're stuck in a desert...

The colony at Cape Cross is one of the largest colonies of cape fur seals in the world. During their main seasons, you can find 200,000 to 250,000 seals living on the beaches of the Cape Cross peninsula.

Going back down to the coast of the South Atlantic, we are now hitting the main part of the Skeleton Coast. This is the wreck of the fishing trawler "Zeila." The youngest wreck on the coast.

Here are two photos in different styles:
- Visible waves and high contrast to show off the drama.
- Long exposure and low contrast to show the desolation.
Which version do you prefer?

Where sand and sea meet

Due to the very cold Benguela Current, there is so little moisture evaporating that there is next to no cloud generation. Only some fog extends into the land. This fog also makes the coast very dangerous for shipping. So, it is also called Skeleton Coast from all the shipwrecks and sailors who did not survive.

After nearly 40 years, desert lions are once again hunting marine prey along Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. A new geo-fencing project aims to keep people out of the way.
