Video about Spitzkoppe Village, located at the foot of Spitzkoppe Peak and Pontok Mountains in Erongo Region in central-western Namibia. #SouthernAfrica Spitzkoppe: Горы Шпицкоппе и Понток составляют гранитную горную формацию, состоящую из нескольких пиков, расположенная между городами Юсакос и Свакопмунд, в пустыне Намиб, центральная Намибия (регион Эронго). Возраст скал составляет более 120 миллионов лет. Самый высокий пик достигает высоты 1784 м над уровнем моря и почти на 700 м выше окружающего плато. Spitzkoppe, one of the most often photographed sites in Namibia and country&well-known landmark, is located off the main B2 road Usakos - Swakopmund. Together with the Brandberg or the nearby Erongo Mountains, Spitzkoppe is the most famous (although not one of the highest) mountains in the country. For the Namibians it is hard to appreciate nature&beauty because it is something that people see everyday and it has become part of their everyday life. However, when people from other countries come to explore the country they truly get amused by its natural beauty. The age of the mountain is more than 700 million years. In 1946 the Spitzkoppe was first climbed from its western face. Ever since then the mountain remained popular for Namibian and foreign climbers. The Spitzkoppe rises about 1784 meters (5857 feet) above the flat surrounding plain. There are large variety of plants in the area, such as the Myrothamnus flabellifolius, Boscia foetida and the Kleinia longiflora.
