Brandberg, granite massif and one of the highest mountains of Namibia. It lies in the north-central Namib desert. Königstein, its highest peak (and the country’s highest point), reaches an elevation of more than 8,200 feet (2,500 metres). Brandberg is known for its concentration of prehistoric rock art, including carvings and paintings. One of these, known as the White Lady, is especially famous. The area is also known for its rich biodiversity and numerous endemic species. Large tin deposits have been found at nearby Uis.
