The Tugela river, flowing through a small rural village, with the majestic cliffs of the Drakensberg mountains shrouded in clouds in the Background. 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.
