The skeleton coast is known for its desolate nature, fogs, shipwrecks and not much else. It is where the desert hits the Atlantic. A few plants struggle through by extracting water from the fog.
The area is home to Welwitschia mirabilis, a very strange plant with a short trunk, two leaves and no living relatives that lives in the middle of nowhere. Not a bad life. More detail on why it is interesting by clicking here.
