African superswell
The African superswell is an extraordinary uplift of the African continent, particularly its southern half; southern Africa on average lies a full kilometer above sea level, with seemingly anomalous uplifts extending well into the south Atlantic ocean.(Nyblade and Robinson,1994),superswell is a relatively recent phenomenon, probably beginning around no earlier than 30 million years ago, or later than 5 million years ago.
