To the north is the city of Swakopmund in Namibia begins infamous Skeleton Coast. Benguela cold current that passes from the south along the coast, the air cools and sozdaѐt mists that are here most of the year. Because of heavy fog, powerful surf, non-permanent flows shipping is extremely dangerous, and for a long time there happened a lot of shipwrecks. The remains of the lost ships, which off course, run aground, are often found on the coast. Some lie at a distance of 50 meters from the water - desert winds carry the sand constantly in the sea, gradually moving the coastline to the west. The boats could cross the line of surf and hit the beach, but the surf in places so strong that at the oars to cross it in the opposite direction is virtually impossible. The victims, who were lucky enough to survive the shipwreck and get to land, found themselves among one of the most dry and unfavorable for the life of the world's deserts hundreds of kilometers away from populated areas and drinking water sources. On this side they found their death. So, today I will talk about the Skeleton Coast. Under the cut corpses. This spectacle can upset you. Think before you go under the cut ...
