	The Ramon Crater
		Ramon Crater is the largest one one of the three Negev craters.
		The Ramon Nature Reserve encompassing the crater and the Negev mountains surrounding it is the largest nature reserve in Israel.
		The Ramon Crater is 40 kilometers long and 2 to 10 kilometers wide, shaped like an elongated heart.

		Ramon Crater is the world's biggest karst crater, located at the peak of Mount Negev, in the heart of Israels Negev Desert, some 85 kilometers south of the city of Beer-Sheva.
		As the Crater deepened, lower and more ancient rock strata were exposed; at the bottom of Ramon Crater some rocks are as old as 200 million years.
		Several hillsides in the northeastern corner of the Crater were once entirely covered by spiral ammonite fossils, from the size of snails to the size of tractor wheels.

	Ramon Crater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ramon Crater is one of the most spectacular geological features of Israel's Negev Desert.
		Several hillsides in the northeastern corner of the crater were once entirely covered by spiral ammonite fossils, ranging from the size of snails to the size of tractor wheels.
		Because Ramon Crater lies along the ancient Spice Trail, a trade route used by the Nabateans 2,000 years ago, the Khan Saharonim ruins served the traders and their pack animals as a way station (khan is the Arabic word for a caravansary) before proceeding further westwards to the Mediterranean seaport city of Gaza.

	Machtesh Ramon
		Located south of Beersheba in the Central Negev, Makhtesh Ramon is usually referred to as a crater, but it is not an impact crater from a meteorite, it is actually a "makhtesh," a valley surrounded by steep walls and drained by a single "wadi" (riverbed).
		Mount Ramon, at the southwest corner of the makhtesh, is the highest peak in the Negev (3,400 feet – 1,037 m.).
		The British paved the highway from Beersheva to Eilat, the road from Beersheva to the large Makhtesh and the "Petroleum Road" from Yeruham to Avdat and Makhtesh Ramon.

		The Ramon crater is the largest of three such geological formations.
		The term "crater" is misleading - it is not the result of a meteorite impact, it is the result of erosion.
		The town of Mitzpe Ramon sits on the northern edge of the crater.

		Until recently, the town’s main claim to fame was the 25-mile-long Ramon Crater, a stunning feat of nature, formed over hundreds of millions of years.
		Sometimes dubbed "Israel’s Grand Canyon," the Ramon Crater is still a magnet for geology buffs, hunters of marine and dinosaur fossils, hardy hikers and seekers of spiritual repose, but now the town itself is attracting its share of tourists.
		Leading north from the Ramon Crater, one can follow part of the ancient Nabatean spice route to Avdat, along which the incense, perfume and spices from India and the Arabian Peninsula were transported by camel to Gaza and the Mediterranean coast.

		I also met with a geologist and geomorphologist from the Ramon Science Center to determine the geology and lithology of the areas I selected.
		The overall significance of this work is to determine how much reflectance the different soil and rock areas of the Maktesh Ramon have, and how this is related to the reflectance values from remotely sensed images.
		Having the chance to gather samples from the Maktesh Ramon also gave me an excellent opportunity to view different vegetation and animals that inhabit arid regions, as well as see how humans interact with the region....

		Mitzpe Ramon itself is a small town only a few dozen years old, but the RAMON CRATER under it, is only a few hundred million years old, and stretches for many kilometers in all directions, hills and sand and rocks of many different colours, and you can go and walk wherever you want to.
		I sensed that I and my scooter was being watched, and these IBEX were staring at me from the opposite side of the road, some of them only a few meters from me, and others were perched on rocks.
		SO I suggest you “google” Mitzpe Ramon, for full details about the crater, and the technical and geographical information, and info about other interesting places and things to see.
