Second Largest Canyon - Al-Ais, Namibia
2009-04-04 15:06:00 Jump to the full entry & travel map Al-Ais, NamibiaOur next stop was to the Fish River Canyon which is the second largest canyon in the world and the largest in Africa, as well as the second most visited tourist attraction in Namibia. It features a gigantic ravine, in total about 100 miles long, up to 17 miles wide and in places almost 1,800 feet deep.The Fish River is the longest interior river in Namibia, but its flow in the present is a puny trickle compared with the immense volume of water that poured down its length in ages past. It cuts deep into the plateau which is today dry, stony and sparsely covered with hardy drought resistant plants.We were there at the middle of the day, so the sun was to high for any good pictures.

Esta última es una de las favoritas para llevarse el campeonato y probablemente acabe primera de grupo con gente del nivel de Essien, Addo, Asamoah o Muntari entre sus filas. El segundo puesto, estará disputado entre la selección de Marruecos y Guinea, mientras que Namibia es la cenicienta del grupo y quizás no consiga ni puntuar. Marruecos practica un juego muy defensivo pero que garantiza resultados entre sus filas se encuentran Chamakh, Hadji, Safri o Boussoufa. Por el lado, de Namibia destacar solamente a Benjami como estrella. La copa África se les hace grande para un conjunto que suma muchas derrotas.
