PMR036K-30 Namibia: Sesriem Canyon, 30 metres deep, carved by the River Tsauchab in 2 million years. The name derives from the fact that it needed six (ses) oxen spans (riem) joined together to haul a bucket of water up from the bottom of the canyon. Here, view along the floor of the canyon. Keywords: geology, gorge, river erosion, semi-desert
