The next day Jacques organized an educational tour at Christo Meyer's farm Kopjeskraal. This entire area, known as the dome area, is in the process of being declared a World Heritage Site.
Danie Van Zyl from Ten3 Safaris was also here, filming todays procedures for educational purposes. The ideal is to get more schools to visit this site and learn more about the meteorite impact, an event which is believed by some to have been responsible for life on earth. The Big Bang!
Greame and Karen Addison were the hosts today, and they mesmerized us all with their account of the meteorite impact some 2023 million years ago, and I was amazed that I never knew that this had taken place in this area, or at all, eventhough it is so close to home.

They had a group of 300 kids from a school in Heilbron, not too far away, and it was quite something to see Greame relay the events of the impact.
