Conception Bay

Namibia / Erongo / Walvis Bay /
The comment below can be clarified. This landmark seems to be "Conception Water". This according to the GPS Data given by Martin Cleminshaw in www.reports.overland.co.za. The data were given at a time when the GPS Database was not accurate enough. The data reported by Martin, lead to a point, almost one km nw in the Atlantic ocean. (It is not part of the "Lange Wand" which is more in the South.

  • Its the Skeleton Coast one of the most treacherous places on the Earth
  • What causes this formation? How deep is it. Would like more information.
  • This formation is formated from the wind and pleamar to ocean coast
  • I am not absolutely sure, but this place could be "Conception Water, formely called "De Conceptione", a water place at the southern end of the "Lange Wand"
  • It looks like a face.
  • Sorry, but this place is officaly named "Conception Bay". See Admiralty Chart 3860 "Conception Bay to Hottentot Point" for example. So, I made correction.
