Naukluft Mountains

Hello,

Today my geo tour group departs Windhoek.  We drive southwest towards the Naukluft Mountains.

Our first stop is the Aris Quarry.  Here we find Tertiay-aged phonolite lava that is being quarried for road aggregate.

Our guide cracks open a rock.  Using a loupe my companions find minute evidence of ancient water!

I am delighted to watch them as they are delighted to peer into the deep past.
