Helio hills

Etosha National Park, Namibia

Also known as Tweekoppies — an Afrikaans word for two small hills, they are sometimes compared to a woman's breasts simply because of their appearance from a distance ¹.

It's made of dolomite and there used to be a German heliograph station atop one of them, used to signal fellow troops at Fort Namutoni during the early 20th century.
