ALG-58, Hippo Head Arch, Sefar Low Maze
Area. 10.3 meter span by 2.7 meter height (measured). GPS 32R 575297 2727966.
From the balanced rock close to ALG-57, work
your way east for 80 meters to reach a deep corridor. You have to pass
under boulders on the way. Once in the corridor, walk northeast and turn
right in the first perpendicular corridor. Follow this corridor about
150 meters to a guelta with some furze (water plants). From the guelta
climb east up slickrock to an obvious notch in the rock. Cross it and
after a bit you arrive in a terrace of rock with an expansive view of
the desert plain. ALG-58 is located about 100 meters on the right (east).
From the terrace you can see the Akakus Plateau in Libya, 60 km distant. |
