Monday Geology Picture(s): More Views of the Shipwreck on Noordhoek Beach, South Africa
Posted by Evelyn Mervine
Beautiful Noordhoek Beach, February 2014.
A few weeks ago I featured a picture of the S. S. Kakapo shipwreck on Noordhoek Beach in the Cape Town, South Africa, area for my “Monday Geology Picture” post. Yesterday my husband and I took a walk along Noordhoek Beach, which is quite a long beach. Walking from the parking lot at one end of the beach to the shipwreck at the other end of the beach takes about an hour at a leisurely pace. For this week’s “Monday Geology Picture” post I thought I would share a few more pictures of the Noordhoek Beach shipwreck. Enjoy!
