The Twelve Apostles are part of the Table Mountain complex, which overlooks Camps Bay in Cape Town, South Africa. The mountain range extends 6 km almost to Hout Bay. They actually consist of eighteen peaks. 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 elevation above sea level is 750 m, compared to 1,060 m for Table Mountain. Under the Dutch East India Company, the mountain range was known as the Kasteelberg Mountains or the Gevelberg Mountains.
