Sesriem canyon on the Tsauchab river. Named by Afrikaaner settlers
who needed six lenths of leather riem made of oxen skins tied together
to draw water with a bucket. It is a natural canyon carved by water
through the ages through layer apon layer of sediment deposits which
eventually when deep enough were turned to stone which now form the
walls of the canyon. Its a short pleasant walk come afternoon after
visiting Sossus Vlei, a truely unique geological formation.
