The Eastern Butress of the Amphipheter, in the Drakensberg of South Africa, on a wet rainy day, with lush green ferns in the foreground. These iconic cliffs and peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains formed due to the combination of the Jurassic period large flood basalt during the break-up of the Gondwana Supercontinent and erosion from the later uplift of the African Continent.
