About Pelican Point: Pelican Point sits on the edge of the Namib, one of the world's oldest deserts. The cold Benguela current chills the air so it makes fog rather than rain. Desert life here has learned to sip water straight from the morning fog. Thick fog rolls in almost daily, even though rain almost never falls
