The Vredefort Dome

The Dome is a 90-km-widegeological entity located ~30 km from Potchefstroom, South Africa, that represents the eroded central uplift of the world's oldest (2023 ± 4 Ma) and possibly largest known meteorite impact structure. It is a site of unprecedented geological significance not only because of the impact-related effects visible in its rocks, but also because it is one of only a handful of areas 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 focused 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 international geological significance.
