Thanks whiskey, that's rather more useful than some posts!!

I was looking on google maps at your reference to Amatlich and noticed an extraordinary rock feature to the NNW about 250 miles at Zouerat. It's about 10miles across and next to the N1.
Anyone know what it is and can it be reached these days?
Did you mean at approx N 22.29.416 W 011.44.231?

This is the tenamour crater, we camped slap bang in the middle of it,

No, not the crater, this goes the opposite way! looks like it might be volcanic looking at how black it is, but that's a hell of a size for a volcano!

Draw a right angled triangle with it's base right angle at the feature I think you are talking about and the other base angle on atar. where the hypotenuse and side meet is the feature I mean. Looks very rocky and black

I think you've found Kediet ej Jill - the highest peak in Mauri. It's big, blue and sends your compass wappy ! :helpsmilie:

At Zouerat stands big open, iron orr mine. Nothing special. It seams for me much interested entering into Mauri from West Sahara to Bir Mogrein, but in this days seams mission impossible.
