Default Historic crater

A two billion year old meteorite crater in South Africa has been named a world historical site. Didn't know a list of world historical sites even existed. Here is the full story.
Edited to add:
You can find the other world heritage sites here.

I found Unesco WHC to be a more responsive link about world heritage sites.
