All the mysterious discoveries found by scientists in the heart of the desert!

Desert is always seen as a lonely place. No matter where you look in the desert, you will see nothing but sand. However, under the sands of the Shunshan Silent Desert, many strange discoveries are sometimes found that shock us! Although the sight of water in the desert is a mirage, if you ever hear that a swimming pool has been found there, or if you suddenly see a telephone booth or a famous brand boutique shop while walking, you can't help but be surprised! Today we are going to learn about the discoveries found in the desert chest which is really unusual to be there!

Cape Cross seals colony,Namibia Cape Cross has both historic and biological significance and is a popular tourist attraction. The Portuguese navigator, Diego Cão, landed here in 1486 on his second expedition south of the equator and planted a stone cross (padrão) to mark his journey. A replica is visible here today. Inclusive of a second replica, the area has been listed as a National Heritage Site. In the late 1800s, thousands of tons of guano (dried excrement of fish-eating birds used as fertiliser) were collected and exported to Europe. Cape fur seals were also harvested. About 100 workers lived at Cape Cross and a police station, customs and post office were established at the settlement, while a railway (the first in the country) was built to cross the salt pan and transport workers. Many men lost their lives due to the harsh conditions at Cape Cross. This reserve is a sanctuary for the world’s largest breeding colony of Cape fur seals, with up to 210 000 seals present during the breeding season in November and December. Sustainable seal harvesting takes place in the reserve annually under the auspices of the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, which also sets the quota of seals to be harvested. #namib #namibia #namibiandesert #swakopmund #africanvideos #africa #racconta_il_tuo_viaggio #travelmemories #travelphotography #travelafrica #travelsouthafrica #travelnamibia #seal #capecross #mothernature #wondersofnature #southafrica #southernafrica #nature #naturephotography (presso Cape Cross Seal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxCcmNTlpgz/?igshid=3438bn1ml47z

Inside the fascinating world of Namibia’s Himba people. This magnificent tribe inhabit the Kaokoland area of Namibia and are descendants of a group of Herero herders who fled into the remote north-west of Namibia after been displaced by the Nama. They still clutch their traditional beliefs today by breeding and herding their cattle and goats and living a semi nomadic lifestyle. Himba women especially, as well as Himba men rub their bodies with red ochre and fat (Otjize) to protect themselves from the scorching sun and arid climate of the Kaokoland. This also wards off mosquitos as individual woman mix the Otjize with local plants and shrubs making a perfume of their own scents. This is a beauty regime. #himba #africa #namibiandesert #namib #namibia #kaokoland #etosha #southafrica #southernafrica #racconta_il_tuo_viaggio #travelmemories #travelphotography #travelafrica #travelnamibia #travelsouthafrica #tribe #nikonp1000 #nikon #africanvideos #primitive (presso Namibia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw8F-lToRkr/?igshid=1m6p1somstam0

The Zeila wreck on Namibia Skeleton coast A convenient shipwreck to see along Namibia's famous Skeleton Coast is the Zeila wreck found north of Swakopmund around 15 kilometres south of Henties Bay, near a popular beachside fishing spot. You will easily see the Zeila as approach along the C34 from the south, on the left side of the road. The Zeila was its resting place at this location in 2008. Seems this was an old Angolan fishing vessel that had been sold for scrap to an Indian company. It was being towed out of Walvis Bay but its tow rope broke in the middle of the night. The vessel drifted through the night and was then washed ashore at this location further north along the coast. Today the ship remains in very good condition wedged into the sand just off shore. It has become the nesting location for numerous birds, which is nice to see and photograph. You can visit the Zeila wreck by turning off the C34. There is a sign pointing you to a short off drive and car park. You'll likely see a few tour groups and other travellers doing the same. Lock up your car and walk 40-50 metres down to the beach and you'll be fairly close to the ship. You can take pictures from there. #namibia #travelnamibia #travelawesome #travelmemories #travelphotography #travelafrica #namibiandesert #africa #africanvideos #southafrica #Travel2Inspire #racconta_il_tuo_viaggio #travelling #travelingram #travelvloggers #travel_captures (presso Swakopmund, Namibia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxmwV4KleRM/?igshid=1rz5sjl4kwctl
