Cormoran à poitrine blanche perché au sommet d'une grue Phalacrocorax lucidus Namibia. Etosha National Parc. Etosha, meaning "Great White Place" ou the « Great Bare Place », is dominated by a massive mineral pan. The pan is part of the Kalahari Basin, the floor of which was formed around 1000 million years ago. The Etosha Pan covers around 25% of the National Park. The Pan was originally a lake fed by the Kunene River. Tectonic movements changed the course of the river thousands of years ago and the lake dried up. The pan now is a large dusty depression of salt and dusty clay which fills only if the rains are heavy and even then only holds water for a short time. This temporary water in the Etosha Pan attracts thousands of wading birds including impressive flocks of flamingos. The perennial springs along the edges of the Etosha Pan draw large concentrations of wildlife and birds. White-breasted cormorant perched at the top of a crane Phalacrocorax lucidus Namibia.
