Söderfjärden, Impact crater and cultural heritage site in Vaasa and Korsholm, Finland.

The circular depression spans over five kilometers in diameter and contains agricultural fields surrounded by three distinct villages: Sundom, Solf kyrkby, and Munsmo.

The crater formation occurred during the Cambrian period approximately 520 million years ago when a meteorite collided with the Earth's surface in this location.

The Meteoria Visitation Center displays exhibitions about the geological formation and presents information about the natural environment of the surrounding area.

The location features an observation tower, dedicated parking areas for visitors, and specific spots along roadsides designated for watching migratory birds.

The fields within the crater serve as a gathering point for over 7000 common cranes during migration periods, making it the largest crane concentration in Finland.
