Description
Chapman's Peak is the name of a mountain on the western side of the Cape Peninsula of South Africa, between Hout Bay and Noordhoek in Capetown. The mountain falls hundreds of meters to the ocean, and a spectacular road, known as Chapman's Peak Drive, hugs the near vertical face of the mountain. Hacked out of the face of the mountain from 1915-1922, the road construction was considered a major engineering feat at the time. Considered to be one of the most scenic marine drives in the world, the views are literally breathtaking around every corner. If you look closely in the photograph, the road is located in the upper third of the picture and a car on the road puts the size of the mountain into perspective.
