X-Photographer – Johann van der Walt – Tswaing Meteorite Crater

<p>Tswaing is an impact meteorite crater in South Africa situated just over 35 kilometres north-west of Pretoria. It is estimated that it was fromed when a meteorite slammed into the earth’s crust about 220 000 years ago.  It was a stony type meteorite between 30 and 50 meters in diameter.  The impact formed a huge crater, 1.4 km in diameter and 200 m deep. This crater is one of the best-preserved meteorite impact craters in the world.</p>
