Inside apocalyptic ‘Gates of Hell’ beach full of shipwrecks and skeletons dubbed the ‘land God made in anger’
Deep in the Namibian desert sits an apocalyptic beach graveyard dubbed the “Gates of Hell” where battered shipwrecks and decaying human bones lie.
Once described as "the land God made in anger", the cursed coastline is untouched by locals and left to fester in its dark tales of death and destruction.
On the surface, Namibia's Skeleton Coast is a beautiful stretch of sandy dunes - but despite its prime oceanfront location, the spot has earned its eerie nicknames.
Thousands of skeletons, broken-down aircraft and abandoned ships line the shores when the tide is out.
Crumbling remains of vessels dating back to 1904, which carried hundreds of unfortunate passengers, call the Skeleton Coast their final resting place.
Sailors who ended up washed ashore were forced to trek across the vast, scorching desert, with many perishing.
The only signs of human life are decaying road signs buried under sand, abandoned oil rigs left to rot and the sun-bleached carcasses of men, beasts and ships.
