Salpeterkop Volcano Hike (SE Sutherland 20km)

The extinct volcano Saltpeterkop, which erupted some 66 Ma ago with great force, has been remarkably well preserved on the farm Blauwbloemetjes Keep 95, some 20 km east-southeast of the town of Sutherland. In fact it is the best preserved volcano in South Africa. See references.

Guided outing to Salpeterkop Volcano can be arranged. See references.

The Sutherland Dark Sky Reserve is South Africa’s first and largest “Dark Sky Reserve”, and Rogge Cloof has rightly earned the name “Star Plains”.
