The original desert island
Article Abstract:
The black granite island of Kubu in the Kalahari Desert of Botswana, Africa was formed by natural changes in the flow of rivers. Geological changes caused the rivers to flow away from the ancient Kalahari Lake, leaving behind giant salt pans. Kubu is a granite outgrowth of the pans, with a very dry and hot environment. Few plant and animal species can tolerate Kubu's drought conditions. Kubu's environment should prevent development and temper tourism.
