This area is traversed by the Tropic of Capricorn and is mostly flat, although some scenic canyons and elevations are found in some areas, for example in the Moon Valley system. While most of the soil is rocky, sand dunes are still occasionally found in this region.
The well-known Moon Landscape is located near Swakopmund, in the Namib Naukluft Park. A mysterious landscape was constructed by years of erosion of soft earth strata that has been active in this area for over 450 million years.
