Kubu Island

The endless white expanse surrounding this scraggly hump is all that remains of a prehistoric sea.

Rising 30 feet above the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Kubu Island literally means тАШhippopotamus islandтАЩ, a reference to both its shape, and the islandтАЩs watery past. The salt pans were once a prehistoric sea, and Kubu Island a true island. However, tectonic activity redirected the water, causing the lake to dry up, leaving the island high and dry. A few baobab trees and tufts of grass eek out a living here, surrounded by the endless white salt flats that stretch to the horizon. Along with gazing out into the distance, be sure to take a closer look at the whitewashed rocks - experts say itтАЩs actually fossilized guano from the waterfowl that once lived here.
