Description
-
Jakob Malgas collecting tsamma melons (Citrullus lanatus) between Kij Kij and Tierkop. Depending on where the tsamma melons, Citrullus lanatus, grow in the park they will have a different chemical composition and taste due to centuries of water accumulation, evaporation and drought. Images from this trip document the first excursions into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and were a central part of the work on oral history and mapping in the first years of research.
