Natural wonder
In Namibia, Southern Africa
Skeleton Coast in pictures.
Stretching along Namibia's remote northwest, the Skeleton Coast is a haunting expanse where cold ocean fog rolls over rust-coloured dunes and weathered shipwrecks litter the sand. Named for the whale and seal bones that once washed ashore, it is one of the most desolate and atmospheric coastlines on Earth. Seal colonies, desert-adapted wildlife and roaring dunes reward the adventurous.
