Ntwetwe Pan (6)



Evidently, there was a wetter period, the lake flooded again and the dunes were trapped caught far out in the replenished lake.

The climate continued to change and the level of the lake fell once more, but incrementally this time, almost as if the water was struggling against the elemental forces that wished to banish it forever.



Many of the island profiles show distinct descending steps and lines of vegetation, revealing clearly where the fall in lake levels was arrested long enough to leave permanent evidence in the shape of ancient shorelines.

To drive through this area is a unique experience.
