“One day Kolmanskop’s sand-clearing squad failed to turn up, the ice man stayed away, and the school bell stopped ringing.”
It was in 1908 when the first diamond was found in Kolmanskop. This caused a diamond rush and sparked life in the little town of Kolmanskop. Today this once vibrant town lies at the mercy of the Namib Desert, threatening to engulf the grand buildings.
