Luderitz

Lüderitz is a harbour town in south-west Namibia, lying on one of the least hospitable coasts in Africa. It is a port developed around Robert Harbour and Shark Island. In 1909, after the discovery of diamonds nearby, Lüderitz enjoyed a sudden surge of prosperity. Today, however, diamonds are mostly found elsewhere and offshore, and Lüderitz has lost a lot of this interest. Just outside of Lüderitz lies the ghost town of Kolmanskop. This previously bustling diamond town is now abandoned, and fights a constant struggle against being buried under the shifting sand dunes of the Namib Desert. Another ghost town called Elizabeth Bay lies 30 km to the south. The town has also re-styled itself in an attempt to lure tourists to the area, which includes a new waterfront area for shops and offices. Lüderitz has a mild desert climate with pleasant temperatures throughout the year. The average annual precipitation is 23 mm.
