Table Mountain
South African landmark
Table Mountain is a flat-topped mountain overlooking Cape Town, South Africa, one of the world's most recognizable natural landmarks.
Its distinctive plateau summit, often shrouded in cloud (the "tablecloth"), rises about 1,000 meters above the city.
The name applies to similar flat-topped mountains elsewhere, though the Cape Town formation dominates usage.
