Over 160km long, up to 27km wide and 550m deep, Fish River Canyon in southern Namibia is breathtaking in its size and beauty. It is the second most visited site in this dry country in the southwestern part of Africa, and probably the second largest canyon in the world, after the Grand Canyon in the United States.
