Söderfjärden is a unique place on our earth, an ancient, approximately 520 million year old, well-preserved meteorite crater – one of only about 200 known craters on the globe – thus an exceptionally rare natural formation, a dry field, a highly productive agricultural land, a bird paradise, Finland's most important crane resting place and a Natura 2000 area.
At the Meteoria Center, there are buildings with advanced exhibitions about the history of the site and the Earth, an astronomical observatory, a birdwatching tower, and outdoor exhibitions open 24 hours a day.
With the Sustainable-Travel-Finland certificate, the Meteoria center is a green pioneer in sustainable development.
Since its inception in 2008, Meteoria has been producing sustainable energy from solar and wind.
The center is run by the Meteoria section of the Sundom Village Association and the center's astronomical observatory is managed by the Vasa Andromeda association.
