Summary
A stylized illustration of the South African Great Escarpment, based particularly on its appearance in the Great Karoo, where thick erosion resistant dolerite sills generally form the upper, sharp edge of the escarpment. Note the island remnants of the the earlier extent of the plateau on the plain below the escarpment, left behind as the escarpment has gradually eroded progressively further inland.
