	NamibWeb.com - The online guide to Namibia: Brandberg Mountain
		The Brandberg itself is not a volcano but is a granite plug which was pressed out of the volcano's pipe and stopped at about 10 000 meters under the surface.
		Rocks forced aside by the upward movement of the intrusion are visible encircling the margin of the Brandberg, tilted sharply upward.
		Although the Brandberg is not one of the highest mountains in the world, it is the third highest in Africa.

	Brandberg Intrusion, Namibia
		Slightly south and to the west of the Brandberg is the much-eroded Messum Intrusion.
		Both of these intrusions reflect a period of extraordinarily widespread geological unrest in the Earth's history, which preceded the opening of the Atlantic Ocean and the effusion of vast volumes of basaltic lavas of the Karoo formation that form the Drakensberg plateau.
		Rocks forced aside by the upward movement of the intrusion are visible encircling the margin of the Brandberg, tilted sharply upward.

	Brandberg diversity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		The Brandberg massif is a relatively young feature of post-Karoo age, and consists of a single intrusive granite mass surrounded by older country rock of the Damara Orogen.
		The upper Brandberg is unique in southern Africa in being a high altitude Savanna outlier, with many perennial grasses, as well as a rich diversity of tree and shrub species that do not occur on the surrounding gravel plains.
		The inaccessibility of the upper Brandberg, and thus the cost and complexity of logistical support, has delayed a detailed investigation of the mountain, even though the Brandberg is expected to be a centre for endemism in western Namibia.
