Mountainous Lesotho |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Lesotho lies atop an escarpment called the Drakensberg. Most of the country is mountainous, with elevations ranging from 2,000 m (6,000 ft) to 3,482 m (11,424 ft). The Maloti spurs, shown here, run from the south to the north, where they join another range to form a plateau that is the source of southern Africa's largest rivers. The Maloti Mountains provide beautiful scenery, but their soils have suffered extensive erosion. | ||||||
