Table Mountain

Table Mountain is a mountain whose peak is flat like a table. This mountain is included in the area of the Gunung Meja National Park, located in the city of Cape Town, South Africa, and is one of the leading tourist attractions in the city. the view from the mountain table is one of the best views in Africa. People visit this mountain by using a cable car or climbing it.

The specialty of this Table Mountain is the plateau which reaches 3 kilometers which has beautiful cliffs on both sides. This plain is flanked by mountains called Devil's Peak in the east and Lion's Head in the west. both of these mountains make Gunung Meja look very charming and extensively stretched to signal hill so that it forms a natural amphitheater called the city bowl and there are also sea views from Table Bay Harbor. the highest point of the Table Mountain faces the eastern part of the mountains and is marked by Maclear's Beacon, a rough pyramid shaped by Sir Maclear Beaconin trigonometry research. Its height is 1,086 meters above sea level, 19 meters higher than the cable car station which is on the western side of the mountain.

The plateau peak served as the name not only for the mountain itself, but also for its own kind, and also in honor of it the constellation of the southern hemisphere is named. The mountain is composed of coarse-grained sandstones, has steep slopes, which are covered with evergreen forests and shrubs. The flora and fauna of the slopes is protected, as there are rare species, some of them are endemic. Climate on a mountaintop cool and windy than in Cape Town, the winter temperature could drop below 0°C.

Table Mountain is so named because it looks like a table, but it looks like a chest, and a piano, and a wall - what you want, just less of a mountain. Its sides seem smooth, while large ledges, irregularities and indentations are visible in the telescope, but they disappear into the greatness of the boulder. I peered into the holes of Table Mountain, washed with ducts and forming the so-called "table legs" in appearance. At this distance, what seemed to be moss and grass from a distance were whole forests of bushes and trees. The whole mountain, taken undividedly, seems to be some kind of gloomy, dead, silent mass, and meanwhile there is a lot of life there, farms and gardens are climbing its sole, nest in the forests of baboons, teeming with snakes, jackals and run wild goats.
