The Fish River Canyon

The Fish River Canyon
One of the most famous dry rivers. It's located in the southern part of Namibia, in southwestern Africa. 
It stretches approximately 160 kilometers (99 miles) in length, reaches widths of up to 27 kilometers (17 miles), and plunges to depths of around 550 meters (1,800 feet).
The canyon was formed by the erosive action of the Fish River over a period of about 500 million years. Geologists believe that the canyon began forming during the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana.
The Canyon hiking trail is one of the most popular activities for visitors. It is a challenging and demanding 85-kilometer (53-mile) trek that takes about five to six days to complete. Hikers are rewarded with breathtaking views of the canyon and its rugged terrain.
I'm happy to apply this based on a John Nelson's video

But isn't in 5 minutes! 😅
I spent more time because I was walking around the area looking for the most suitable position to look at the river and I've incorporated the north direction arrow into the title. 😍
