Summary

[edit]
Description
Afrikaans: 'n Noordwaartse gesig op die Bo-Karoo, Noord-Kaap, Suid-Afrika, afgeneem tydens 'n vlug tussen Dubai en Kaapstad. Die samevloeiing van die Ongersrivier (onder, links) en Brakrivier (onder, regs en stroomaf van die samevloeiing) is sigbaar aan die onderkant van die beeld. Die Brak het 'n samevloeiing met die Oranjerivier, wat op die agtergrond sigbaar is. 'n Doleriet-indringing, bekend as Biega se Berg (1 102 m), is net links van die Ongers-Brak-samevloeiing sigbaar. Die rivierbeddings van die Ongers- en Brakriviere is dig begroei met Acacia-bome wat oorleef danksy sporadiese vloede en ondergrondse beddingwater, wat hier die illusie van staande water gee.
English: Looking north over the Karoo, Northern Cape, South Africa, during a flight between Dubai and Cape Town. The confluence of the Ongers River (below, left) and Brak River (from below, right and beyond the confluence) is visible at the bottom of the picture. The Brak has a confluence with the Orange River, which is visible in the background. A dolerite intrusion, known as Biega se Berg (1,102 m), is visible to the immediate left of the Ongers-Brak confluence. The river beds of the Ongers and Brak rivers are densely vegetated with Acacia trees which benefit from occasional floods and subterranean water, giving the illusion of standing water.
