Table Mountain

Table Mountain is the only terrestrial feature to give its name to a constellation: Mensa, meaning The Table.

The flat top of Table Mountain is often covered by orographic clouds, known as the 'table cloth'.

The highest point on Table Mountain, Maclear's Beacon, is 1,086 metres (3,563 ft) above sea level.

The Graafwater Formation, a lower layer of Table Mountain, consists of distinctively maroon-colored mudstones.

Fynbos vegetation on Table Mountain is fire adapted and has been shaped by fire regimes for at least the past 12,000 years.
