Ramon Crater(Machtesh Ramon) Aerial View
Makhtesh – a crater generated due to unique conditions – is a unique geological phenomenon peculiar to the Negev and Sinai deserts. The largest is Makhtesh Ramon, where nature has exposed a series of singular geological phenomenaNature also created a rich habitat of plant and wildlife in Makhtesh Ramon. One can also find in it an abundance of archaeological sites – strongholds, caravansaries, ancient roads, and relics of ancient agriculture from the times of the kings of Judea and the Nabateans.
The makhtesh was initially a hump-shaped mountain. Erosion by water and climatic forces first flatten the mountain, revealing soft rocks which were once covered by thick layers of much harder rocks. Approximately five million years ago, the Arava Rift Valley was formed, with rivers changing their courses, and starting to carve out the inside of the crater. The crater bottom, made of the soft rocks, continued to deepen at a much faster rate than the surrounding walls, which gradually increased in height. As the crater deepened, more layers of ancient rock were exposed with rocks at the bottom of the crater being the oldest exposed sedimentary rocks in Israel (from the Triassic period). Today, the crater is 350m deep. Its maximum length and width are 40km and 9km respectfully.
Opened in 2013, the new Mitzpe Ramon Visitor Center is set on the northern cliffs of Machtesh Ramon, and tells the geological story behind this unique and amazing work of nature. It offers a stunning view of the crater and also serves as a museum and memorial for Ilan Ramon, Israel’s first astronaut who died in 2003 when the Shuttle Columbia disintegrated when re-entering the earth’s atmosphere.

Nature Music Video - Makhtesh Ramon ll (The Ramon Crater) in Mitzpe Ramon, Israel
Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Negev desert was covered by an ocean. Slowly, this started to recede northwards leaving behind a hump-shaped hill. The hump was slowly flattened by water and climatic forces. Approximately five million years ago, the Arava Rift Valley was formed, with rivers changing their courses, carving out the inside of the crater which was a softer rock than that overlying. The crater bottom continued to deepen at a much faster rate than the surrounding walls, which gradually increased in height.

Nature Music Video - Makhtesh Ramon (The Ramon Crater) in Mitzpe Ramon, Israel
The Ramon Crater in Israel’s Negev Desert is the world’s largest erosion crater or makhtesh. A landform unique to Israel’s Negev and Egypt’s Sinai deserts’, a makhtesh is a large erosion cirque, created 220 million years ago when oceans covered the area (the word crater is therefore a misleading translation of Hebrew to English.) The Ramon Crater measures 40km in length and between 2 and 10km in width, shaped like a long heart, and forms Israel’s largest national park, the Ramon Nature Reserve.
Maktesh Ramon, the world's largest erosion crater
In the depths of the Negev desert, lies a jewel of geology, inhabited over millennia by various peoples named in the Scriptures, including Christians, as documented by the studies of Father Bellarmino Bagatti from the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum.
