The Vredefort Dome:

The Dome is a 90-km-widegeological entity located ~30 km from Potchefstroom ,South Africa, that represents the eroded centraluplift of the world’s oldest (2023 ± 4 Ma) and possiblylargest known meteorite impact structure. It is a site of unprecedented geological significance not onlybecause of the impact-related effects visible in itsrocks, but also because it is one of only a handful ofareas around the world that exposes a near-continuous,>25 km deep, crustal section.

The topographic expression of the dome is restricted to its northern and western sectors (the remainder being covered by younger sedimentary strata), with the most prominent feature being a crescent of steep ridges and valleys cut by the Vaal River. The combination of the spectacular rugged scenery and the Vaal River has created a well-established tourism industry that is primarily focussed on recreational and adventure tourism and the business market. By contrast, geotourism linked to the spectacular geological features is relatively
minor, being restricted to a few information displays in resorts and ad hoc tours run by local enthusiasts and academics. In 2005, a 30000 ha portion of the dome (approximately one-quarter of the exposed area of the dome) was inscribed as a World Heritage Site (VDWHS) on the strength of the dome’s internatonal geological significance.
