Some 220 000 years ago a blazing stony meteorite the size of half a football field slammed into the earth`s crust. The impact formed a crater, 1,4 km in diameter and 200 m deep. This crater is situated 40 km to the northwest of Pretoria. It is one of the best-preserved terrestrial meteorite impact craters anywhere in the world. Tswaing, meaning Place of Salt in Setswana, is a 1946-hectare conservation area. It borders on the Winterveld and Soshanguve settlements. http://www.tshwane.gov.za/sites/Tourism/NatureConservation/Pages/Tswaing-Meteorite-Crater.aspx
