Vredefort Dome
Located approximately 120 km southwest of Johannesburg, the Vreedefort Dome is a representative section of a large meteorite impact structure (or crater). Dating back to 2.023 billion years ago, it is the oldest crater ever discovered on Earth. With a radius of 190 km, it is also the largest and most deeply eroded. The Vreedefort Dome witnessed the world's largest known single energy release event, which had devastating effects around the globe, including, according to some scientists, major evolutionary changes. It provides key evidence for the Earth's geological history and is essential for understanding the evolution of the Earth. Despite the importance of impact sites to Earth history, geological activity on the Earth's surface has caused evidence for most impact sites to disappear, with Vreedefort being the only example that provides a complete geological section of a star-shaped crater below the crater floor.
