‘Brukkaros Mountain in Namibia’

Brukkaros Mountain, an extinct volcano rising out of the desert in the ǁKaras Region of southern Namibia. Some four kilometres wide, Brukkaros was formed by a single volcanic event when a plug of rising superheated magma met groundwater 80-million years ago, causing a massive explosion and creating what looks like an ordinary volcanic crater.
