Summary
| Description |
English: View of the South African N12 road as it passes through Meiringspoort, a 20 km (12 mi) gorge with cliffs of up to 700 m (2300&bnbsp;ft) in the Swartberg, a mountain range that separates the Great Karoo from the Little Karoo. The folds in the Swartberg are clearly visible in both the gorge and in this picture. The Groot River (in spite of its name, little more than a stream) passes through the gorge - one of the many crossings of the N12 and the river are visible in the lower part of the picture. The town of Oudtshoorn is about 35 km (22 mi) from the southern portal of the gorge.
Afrikaans: Uitsig op die Suid-Afrikaanse N12-pad in die omgewing Meiringspoort. Meiringspoort is 'n 20 km lank met kranse van 700 m. Hy sny deur die Swartberg tussen die Groot-Karoo en die Klein-Karoo. Die voue in die Swartberg is duidelik sigbaar in die kloof. Een van die kruisings van die N12 oor die Grootrivier wat deur die poort loop is sigbaar in die onderste deel van die prentjie. Die dorp Oudtshoorn is sowat 35 km vanaf die suidelike portaal van die kloof. |
