Location: Brandberg Mountain, Namibia,
Credit: European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-2

Namibia’s highest mountain the Brandberg Mountain Range is situated in the Erongo region in the western part of Namibia, ninety kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean, and covers an area of 760 square kilometres.

The Range gets its name from an almost black appearance and the bright colours that the setting sun paints onto the mountains as if the whole area was on fire.

On July 17, 2024, Copernicus Sentinel-2 acquired a clear image of the mountain.
