Summary: Like the central Namib, the Lüderitz peninsula also has its lichen fields. There is an incredible diversity of plants in this area. The so-called Black Mountain began its existence millions of years ago, when basaltic lava erupted onto what was then the bottom of a primeval ocean, harbours several plant species, especially a large number of blood fingers growing around it. The extent and composition of the lichen communities in Namibia is unique and much research into these organsims still needs to be done
