Satellite view of Southern Africa
Stunning view of South Africa. The arid, rugged Great Karoo runs along the southern coast where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. From an indigenous word meaning dry thirst land, the Great Karoos mountains and plains are home to a rich variety of plants and animals, including some of South Africas most endangered species. The tan folds of the Nuweveld Mountain Range separate the Great Karoo in the south from the Northern Karoo in the north.
The brown and orange landscape that surrounds South Africas northwestern borders is the Kalahari Desert, a vast sand basin marked by dunes and dry savannah vegetation. The southern edge of the desert is defined by the Orange River, which also forms South Africas northwestern border with Namibia. In center and east South Africa, the ragged northern border is formed by the Molopo/Limpopo River.
Within South Africa is the enclave, Lesotho. This tiny mountainous country covers an area of 30, 355 square kilometers, slightly smaller than the state of Maryland. Northeast of Lesotho is the smaller country, Swaziland, with an area of 17, 363 square kilometers. Along the top of the image, from left to right, are Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the breathtaking satellite view of Southern Africa, showcasing the diverse and captivating landscapes that make this region so unique. The image showcases South Africa's Great Karoo, a rugged and arid terrain that stretches along the southern coast where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. Derived from an indigenous word meaning "dry thirst land" the Great Karoo is home to a rich variety of plants and animals, including some of South Africa's most endangered species. The photograph also highlights the majestic Nuweveld Mountain Range, which separates the Great Karoo in the south from the Northern Karoo in the north with its tan folds. Moving towards South Africa's northwestern borders, we encounter the striking Kalahari Desert characterized by vast sand basins adorned with dunes and dry savannah vegetation. The Orange River defines both South Africa's northwestern border with Namibia as well as marks one edge of this desert landscape. Within South Africa itself lies Lesotho, a tiny mountainous enclave covering an area slightly smaller than Maryland. To its northeast lies Swaziland, another small country boasting its own distinct charm across 17,363 square kilometers. Completing this awe-inspiring view are neighboring countries such as Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique lining up along the top of this image. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate Southern Africa's natural beauty while reminding us of our responsibility to preserve these precious ecosystems for future generations.
