Sesriem Canyon - Namibia - 2009
Not far from Sossusvlei is Sesriem Canyon.
The canyon, carved out of the conglomerate rock, derives its name from the fact that early Afrikaner trekkers
had to use six ('ses') leather thongs (a thong is a 'riem') so that their buckets could reach the water far below.
