View over the Afroalpine grasslands with the peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains rising in the background, as seen from the vulture restaurant in Golden Gate Highlands National Park, South Africa. 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.
