Great Karas Mountains
The Great Karas Mountains (Afrikaans: Groot Karasberge) are located in the ǁKaras Region of southern Namibia, the driest part of the country.[1] Mt. Schroffenstein, at 2206 meters[2] is the highest peak in the range.[3] The peak lies about ten kilometers east of the national road B1 between Keetmanshoop and Grünau.
ǁKhauxaǃnas, an uninhabited village with a ruined fortress dating to the 18th century, is located to the east of the mountains.
