Created by the discovery of immense mineral deposits, Phalaborwa was established in 1958 and supports a vast mining industry, supplying vital minerals to the country. The profusion of minerals in the area is attributed to a series of volcanic eruptions 2 000 million years ago. The cone of the eruption has vanished, but the pipe, an astonishing geological feature, remains. The pipe is 19 km2 in area and is filled to an unknown depth with minerals such as phosphates, copper zirconium, vermiculite, mica and gold. Called "the town of two summers" because it never gets really cold in this town of mild winters and hot summers. Summer rainfall produces lush vegetation and subtropical gardens.
