Pomona, Namibia
Pomona is a ghost town in southern Namibia south of Lüderitz on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is about 15 km south of Elizabeth Bay, Namibia, in an area called Sperrgebiet, a diamond mining zone with restricted access. Around 1910, at the time of the diamond rush in German South-West Africa, diamonds in the Pomona area were so plentiful that they could be picked up from the ground with bare hands.
