Karoo dolerite cliffs
The cliffs of childhood: dolerite columns, hidden ledges, Tiger Canyon, the Orange River landscape and the geological force of Gondwana breaking apart.
From the dolerite cliffs of the Free State to the caves of Sterkfontein, from the folded mountains of Oudtshoorn to the chalk landscapes of Amesbury, this virtual tour brings together four landscapes that represent major chapters of Earth history. Each place reflects a different geological system that helped shape the surface of the modern Earth.
Each destination opens into a deeper exploration through panoramas, photographs and geological interpretation. Together they span an extraordinary timeline: ancient dolomite formed more than two billion years ago, Gondwana mountain building, the volcanic forces that split the Karoo landscape, and the chalk seas of Cretaceous Europe. While visitors can explore each region individually, the full geological journey remains visible here on the landing page.
Each card below can link either to a dedicated krpano landing page for that region or directly into a starting panorama. Replace the placeholder links with your own tour folders when ready.
The cliffs of childhood: dolerite columns, hidden ledges, Tiger Canyon, the Orange River landscape and the geological force of Gondwana breaking apart.
Ancient dolomite, karst systems, caves, sinkholes and the extraordinary landscape that helped preserve one of the great fossil archives of human origins.
Mountain architecture on a grand scale: folded strata, passes, dry valleys, military memory and one of the clearest structural landscapes in southern Africa.
A chalk landscape shaped by ancient seas, dry valleys and prehistoric earthworks — where geology, archaeology and memory meet on Salisbury Plain.
This landing page can stay as the permanent home hub of the full virtual tour. Even when a visitor goes deeper into one destination, you can keep a home button or persistent area menu that returns here and preserves access to all four regions.
