Record Description
The Ngorongoro Crater, formed when a large volcano collapsed roughly 2 to 3 million years ago, spans about 260 square kilometers and is widely cited as the world's largest inactive, intact, unfilled volcanic caldera. Its enclosed floor supports one of Africa's densest concentrations of wildlife.
