ʻO ka wao nahele ʻo Namib ʻaʻole ia kahi wela loa ma ka Honua, ʻo ia ka mea kahiko loa e noho nei, no laila hūnā ia i nā mea huna he nui. A ʻoiai ua unuhi ʻia ka inoa mai ka dialect kūloko ma ke ʻano he "wahi i loaʻa ʻole kahi mea", hiki i kēia teritori ke kahaha me kāna poʻe kamaʻāina, no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe e loaʻa iā lākou ma kahi ʻē aʻe. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole nui ka poʻe e ʻimi e lanakila i ka ʻāina ahi me kahi ʻehā a ʻoi aku o 100 mau kilomika kilomika.
ʻO ka ʻike ākea e pili ana i ka wao akua ʻo Namib
ʻAʻole maopopo ka hapa nui i hea ka wao akua kahiko loa o ka honua, no ka mea ʻaʻole hāʻawi iki ʻia ka nānā ʻana i ka papa o ka papahana aʻo maʻamau. Eia nō naʻe, hoihoi loa ia mai kahi manaʻo noiʻi a mai kahi kipa huakaʻi, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki ke noho ma kāna ʻāina no ka manawa lōʻihi.
Ma muli o ka hui ʻana o ka wao nahele me ka Moana ʻAkelanika, haʻahaʻa ka mahana ma kahi o ke kahakai, ma kahi o 15-20 kekelē. Ke neʻe nei i kahi hohonu, ʻike ʻia ka ikaika o ke aniau, eia ka wela o ka ea a i 30-40 mau kekelē. Akā e ʻae maʻalahi ʻia kēia inā ʻaʻole no ka nele o ka ua, ʻo ia ke kumu e luhi loa ai ke ea maloʻo.
Aia ʻo Namib ma ke komohana hema o ʻApelika, kahi e hoʻohuli nui ʻia ai e ka Benguela Current. Hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia ke kumu nui o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o kahi wao akua wela, ʻoiai ke anuanu iho ia ma muli o ka makani. Aia ke kiʻekiʻe o ka wela ma kahi kokoke i ke kapakai a nui ka ua, ma ka pō nui. Ma nā wahi hohonu o ka wao nahele, kahi e pale ai ke kuahiwi i ka hele ʻana o ka ea kai, ʻaʻohe ʻano ua. ʻO nā kahawai a me nā kuahiwi kiʻekiʻe e ālai ana i nā kahawai mai ke kai ke kumu nui no ka loaʻa ʻole o ka ua ma Namibia.
Māhele ka ʻepekema i ka wao akua i ʻekolu mau ʻāina.

Paipai mākou iā ʻoe e nānā i ka Wao akua Atacama.
Palpable nā palena ma waena o nā wahi i nā mea āpau. Ke hoʻomaka nei mai ke kapakai, ulu ka wao nahele ma luna o ka ʻilikai, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pā pōhaku ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina, ʻo ia hoʻi nā pōhaku i helelei
Kupaianaha honua o ka holoholona lōhiu
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona o ka wao nahele ʻo Namib i hoʻokumu ʻia i miliona mau makahiki i hala aku nei, i ka wā e noho ana nā dinosaur ma ka Honua. ʻO ia ke kumu ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e noho nei nā endemics ma aneʻi. ʻO kekahi o lākou he nalo e ola ana i kahi aniau paʻakikī a ʻike pehea e loaʻa ai kahi kumu wai ma nā mahana wela.
Eia nō naʻe, ma Namib aia kekahi mau ʻano beetle, no ka laʻana, ka nūnū ʻeleʻele kū hoʻokahi. Ma ʻaneʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke hele mai i nā nalo alanui, nā makika a me nā nananana i koho i nā puʻu o waho. ʻIke pinepine nā kolo, ma nā geckos, i kēia wahi.
Ma muli o ka ʻāina nui kahi i loaʻa ai ka wao nahele, a ma muli o kona ʻano hiʻona, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha he aneane hiki ʻole i nā holoholona nui ke ʻike ma aneʻi. Noho nā ʻelepani, nā zebras, nā antelope i nā wahi me ka wela kiʻekiʻe, kahi e ulu mau ai nā ʻelele o ka flora. Aia pū kekahi nā mea ʻino ma aneʻi: a ʻoiai ua kokoke e pau nā mōʻī ʻApelika, ua koho nā liona i nā puʻu pōhaku, no laila ke hele nei nā ʻohana kūloko ma Namib me ke akahele.
Hōʻike ʻia nā mea kanu i nā ʻano like ʻole. I ka wao akua, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā lāʻau make i ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi miliona mau makahiki. Hoʻopili ka nui o nā endemics i nā mea kūlohelohe ma aneʻi e moemoeā e noiʻi i nā ʻano like ʻole o nā kūlana o ke ola o ka velvichia kupaianaha a me ka brantled velvichia a me nā acanthositsios, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo nara ʻO kēia mau mea kanu kū hoʻokahi kahi kumu o ka meaʻai no nā mea kanu lāʻau e noho ana ma aneʻi a me kahi hoʻonani maoli o ka ʻāina one.
ʻImi ʻĀpana o ka wao nahele
Ma ke kenekulia 15, ua pae nā mea mākaʻikaʻi mua ma kahakai o ʻApelika ma ka wao akua ʻo Namib. Ua hoʻonohonoho nā Pukiki i nā keʻa ma ke kahakai, kahi hōʻailona o ka mea o kēia wahi i ko lākou mokuʻāina. ʻOiai i kēia lā, hiki ke ʻike ʻia kekahi o kēia mau hōʻailona, mālama ʻia ma ke ʻano he kia hoʻomanaʻo mōʻaukala, akā ʻaʻohe mea i kēia lā.
I ka mua o ke kenekulia 19, aia kahi waihona kohola i ka wahi wao nahele, no laila ua aʻo ʻia ka kapakai a me ke kai mai nā ʻaoʻao komohana a me ka hema o ʻApelika. Ua hoʻomaka pololei ʻo Namib e hoʻokolokolo ʻia ma hope o ka puka ʻana o ke kolone Kelemania i ka hopena o ke kenekulia 19. Mai ia manawa mai, ua hoʻomaka ʻia nā palapala ʻāina mua o ka wao nahele e hōʻiliʻili ʻia a kiʻi ʻia nā kiʻi a me nā kiʻi me nā kahakaha kiʻi, e pili ana i ka ʻāina. I kēia manawa aia nā waihona waiwai o ka tungsten, uranium a me nā diamana. Paipai pū mākou e nānā i kahi wikiō hoihoi.
