This desert coast is dominated by the abrupt dome of the Brandberg, and by a blend of folded outcrops and eroded lower domes. In several places a recent runoff from rare rainfall is seen flowing past the mouths of small rivers into a blue-black ocean, and dust from those same riverbeds adds to the plumes. Many dirt tracks and mining complexes are visible at print scale, as are onshore surf patterns.
