Date: 2024-04-07

The Skeleton Coast, located along the northwestern coast of Namibia, is a region known for its desolate and otherworldly landscapes. Stretching approximately 500 kilometers (310 miles) from the Kunene River in the north to the Swakop River in the south, it is characterized by vast expanses of sand dunes, rocky shores, and dense coastal fog.

The name "Skeleton Coast" derives from the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred along its treacherous shores over the centuries, often shrouded in dense fog and strong ocean currents. These shipwrecks serve as eerie reminders of the dangers posed by the unpredictable Atlantic Ocean.
