I. Description of Brukkaros Mountain

Mount Brukkaros is about 130 km (1h30) northwest of Keetmanshoop, it can be seen at more than 100km.
It culminates at 1580 m on the territory Nama near the village of Berseba.
In a landscape devoid of vegetation, this mass of dark lava rises abruptly from a plain sunburned. The spur at the base of the mountain is accessible only by 4x4.
A well maintained trail leads to the end of the road through erosion of the shoreline south to the mountain.
The course was carved in 1930, when the Smithsonian Institute installed an observatory on the western edge of the crater to explore the solar surface.
