Natural wonder
In Namibia, Southern Africa
Fish River Canyon in pictures.
In Namibia's arid south, the Fish River has carved one of the largest canyons in the world, plunging up to 550 metres over a course some 160 kilometres long. Viewpoints along the rim reveal a dramatic landscape of rock terraces and looping river bends. The multi-day hike along its floor is one of southern Africa's most coveted wilderness trails.
