South Africa really is blessed with amazing geology! Some of the oldest mountains in Barberton, one of the largest impact sites (Vredefort), the largest layered igneous intrusion (Bushveld Complex) and on and on...
Now we hear about new caves found near Johannesburg that are linked to this great Vredefort impact structure. Scientists think it is the structures formed in limestone rock on impact that have led to this amazing cave system.
The location is being kept secret for now though...maybe to stop poaching by gem and rock sellers...maybe to monopolize on the researchers papers they can get of the cave? But most likely to protect it.
As long as their isn't a sink hole under my house linked to it, I am happy!
