ALG-233, Machar Jebrine
Arch, Tissoukai Area Islet Four. 14.0 meter span (measured). GPS 32R 551670
2755396. From ALG-226 (Abandoned Arch), leave
Islet 3 and cross the flat 150 meters to Islet 4. Then walk inside the
rock masses east for about 200 meters to this wonderful arch. Machar Jebrine
(1890-1981) is the famous Tuareg guide of Djanet who lead most of the
Henry Lhote expeditions in the Tassili. The name of the Tassili National
Park office in Djanet is in memory of Machar Jebrine. The area around
ALG-233 and the whole of Islet 4 has an incredible abundance of good natural
arches. Photo taken in late afternoon. See the author on top of the arch
for scale. |
