Vredefort Dome
The unique area in which the town of Parys is situated, had its origins roughly around 2 000 million years ago a giant meteorite struck the earth just south east of where Vredefort is situated today. The impact structure that was subsequently formed has become known as the Vredefort Dome because of the dome shape geological formation that resulted from the impact. Its is one of the oldest and largest meteorite impact site on earth, measuring about 200km in diameter and today host a variety of unique and interesting ecosystems and a rich collection of geological formations and archaeological sites. Its is quite difficult to see the entire impact crater from ground level, due to its wide diameter. The mountains are stretching from the southwest to the north of Parys forms a half circle, which represents one half of the inner and best-preserved ring of the crater.The other half of the crater’s ring have either eroded away or have been assimilated back into the earths crust due to the continental movements over millions of years. The half circle can be seen well from an aerial perspective. It is also speculated that the rich gold deposits of the Witwatersrand could have been brought to the surface by the cataclysmic impact of the Vredefort Meteorite.
