U-shaped valley (IMAGE)
Caption
Fjord morphologies and associated glacial erosion features attesting that glaciers flowed through the desertic landscape of NW Namibia 300 million years ago. This U-shaped valley is carved into hard bedrock and represents an intact fjord morphology, carved 300 million years ago, and subsequently filled up with sediment and later exhumated. At the foreground, one can observe remnants of sedimentary rocks (mudstones and sandstones).
