Kolmanskop Ghost Town

Kolmanskop Ghost Town

COUNTRY: Namibia

AREA: Namibia


General

Kolmanskop was an original mining town however due to the water shortage and constant sandblasting from the dune winds the town soon became deserted and what remains today is something spectacular to see and a photographers paradise. Wind and sand dominate this town and at some points you can walk across the dunes into the top floor of a house or through a window. The town remains as it was in 1911 but now occupied by only by Mother Nature.
