Mountain range on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa
For the limestone stacks in Australia, see The Twelve Apostles (Victoria).
The Twelve Apostles are part of the Table Mountain complex overlooking Camps Bay in Cape Town, South Africa. The mountain range stretches 6 km almost to Hout Bay.[1] They actually consist of eighteen peaks.[1] From north to south they are named Kloof, Fountain, Porcupine, Jubilee, Barrier, Valken, Kasteel, Postern, Wood, Spring, Slangolie, Corridor, Separation, Victoria, Grove, Llandudno Peak, Llandudno Corridor, and Hout Bay Corner. The average height above sea level is 750 m, compared to 1,060 m for Table Mountain.[1] Under the Dutch East India Company, the range was known as the Castle Mountains (Dutch: Kasteelbergen) or Gable Mountains (Dutch: Gewelbergen).[1]
