The pressure on the earth’s surface created heat in the region of 1200° C which melted the rock formations in the direct vicinity of the impact.
The heat became so intense that it caused an explosion; the granite formations were melted and pushed out from the bottom to form a round dome like formation, today called the Vredefort Dome.
The meteorite created a unique geological structure of unsurpassed beauty recognized as a World Heritage site in June 2005.
The Lodge has an awesome amount of activities and facilities to offer its guests.
Elgro River Lodge promises to be a place you’ll never forget!
