[edit] The name is wrong
It should be "Machtesh Ramon". There are no craters in Israel. all of them are machteshes. it's a different thing. A crater is a shock mark, a place where a meteorit hit the earth. a machtesh is a unique geological phenomenon. the whole category should be erased and rewritten.
- I disagree. There are two issues here:
- 1) Is there such a thing as a karst crater? If so, then there are craters in Israel. Need to find a geologist to decide that one.
- 2) Are these formations (whatever they're called) really unique to israel? I would find it surprising, although I'd readily believe that they're the largest. Time to find a real source.
