Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Richtersveld is a desert landscape characterised by rugged kloofs and high mountains, situated in the north-western corner of South Africa’s Northern Cape province. It is full of changing scenery from flat, sandy, coastal plains, to craggy sharp mountains of volcanic rock and the lushness of the Orange River, which forms the border with neighboring Namibia. The area ranges in altitude from sea level, to 1,377 m (4,518 ft) at Cornellberg. Located in the north-western side of the Northern Cape province in South Africa, the Richtersveld is regarded as the only arid biodiversity hotspot on earth and the majority of the area is inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List due to its cultural values.

Summary from Nederlands / Dutch Wikipedia (nlwiki)

Het Richtersveld (Afrikaans: Richtersveld Nasionale Park, Engels: Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape) is een gebied in het uiterste noordwesten van Zuid-Afrika. Het bergachtige woestijngebied is het laatste gebied in Zuidelijk Afrika waar de oorspronkelijke Nama-inwoners nog als rondtrekkende herders leven. In 2007 wees UNESCO het gebied daarom aan als werelderfgoed.
