Etosha Pan, extremely flat salt pan, northern Namibia, covering
an area of approximately
4,800 square kilometer at an elevation
of about 1,030 meter. This enormous expanse of salt, glimmering
green in the dry season, is the largest of its kind in Africa.
--kr-
It was first discovered by Europeans when Sir Francis Galton and
Charles Andersson sighted it in 1851. There is geological
evidence that the Kunene River of Angola formerly flowed
southward into the pan, forming a huge lake. Later the river
changed its course westward to the Atlantic Ocean, and the lake,
deprived of its inflow, shrank in size, the water evaporating
to
form the salt pan, or salina.
There are lone salt springs on the pan that have built up little
hillocks of clay and salt used by animals as salt licks. The pan
is fed by a number of nearly parallel
channels (oshanas)
extending north into Angola [15 w.p.m.] that in the monsoon
season from December to March fill parts of Etosha and
surrounding areas with rainwater pools.
The Etosha Pan is the centre of Etosha National Park, and has
one of the largest accumulations
of big-game species in the
world, including lions, elephants,
rhinoceros,
elands, zebras,
and [20 w.p.m.] springbok.
Abundant bird life includes flamingos, vultures,
hawks, eagles,
ostriches,
guinea fowl, and geese. The eastern portion of Etosha

The German colonial fort of Namutoni, destroyed in 1904, and
reconstructed
between 1905 and 1907, at the eastern end of the
pan, resembles a fort of the French Foreign Legion. It has been
restored for use as a tourist camp for Etosha National Park.
