This is a shot at sunset of this outrageous crater in Tanzania, Africa. Known as the 8th wonder of the world, this caldera, 610 meters deep and 20 km in diameter, is the home of hundreds of thousands of animals and birds. The largest intact crater in the world, Ngorongoro was an active volcano some 8 million years ago whose cone collapsed leaving a caldera of 311 sq. km. Only 4 wheel drive vehicles can take visitors to the crater floor from the rim.
