The Shiyli meteorite crater in the Aktobe region


Tour to the Shiyli Meteorite Crater -

The Shiyli Meteorite Crater is located in the Aktobe region of Kazakhstan. It is 5.5 kilometers in diameter. Scientists believe the meteorite fell to Earth several million years ago and caused significant destruction at the impact site.

The crater is approximately 50 meters deep. However, this doesn't mean you'll arrive and see a 50-meter-deep and 5-kilometer-wide hole, as the crater was when the meteorite struck. Over time, wind, rain, and sand have worn away the original appearance of the crater, so you may not see a clear crater upon arrival.

This place attracts researchers and travelers from all over the world. People come here to see the vast Kazakh steppe, the natural beauty of Kazakhstan, and to study the Shiyli Meteorite Crater phenomenon. Many alternative researchers also claim that the territory of Kazakhstan was once subjected to some kind of impact, possibly high-power weapons, which left so-called meteorite craters.
