Skeleton Coast National Park in Namibia is a remote and rugged area known for its dramatic landscapes and eerie shipwrecks along the Atlantic Ocean. Spanning over 16,000 square kilometers, the park features a stark, desolate beauty with its vast stretches of sand dunes, windswept plains, and rocky outcrops. The name "Skeleton Coast" originates from the numerous shipwrecks that litter the shore, remnants of vessels that fell victim to the treacherous waters and dense fog. Despite its harsh environment, the park supports a surprising array of wildlife, including desert-adapted elephants, lions, and seals.
