Photos of Angola

Located 40 km (24.9 mi) south of Luanda, Angola, is the stunning geologic formation known as Miradouro da Lua (Portuguese for “Viewpoint of the Moon”). The distinctive tri-color (orange, white, tan) cliffs were carved by wind and rain erosion and to some look like a setting from another planet or, per the name, the moon.
