My sister-in-law Bonita was married last month. For her honeymoon she and her new husband Jonathan went to the Mpumalanga region of South Africa. Bonita and Jonathan saw some incredible geology on their honeymoon, and they’ve kindly given me permission to share some of their pictures here on Georneys. Today I am sharing some pictures of their visit to Bourke’s Luck Potholes. Impressive potholes, aren’t they?

amazing how the potholes are exposed in profile, but the remaining part almost not touched by erosion

Has the cause of the potholes been determined?

And it is supposed these potholes are caused by water erosion?
