These pans have supplied communities with salt from prehistoric times to today. The mountains stretch east to west for approximately 130 km, varying in width from 18 to 32 km. They boast several peaks that tower more than 1,500 m above sea level, which include Hangklip at 2,550 m and Lejuma at 1,753 m."
