Abstract
Located less than 7 km S of Vaasa, Söderfjärden is a 6.6-km-wide impact structure just 1 km from the western Finnish coast within the 1.88 Ga old Svecofennian granitoids of ‘Vaasa granite’. A thousand years ago, it was still under water when emerged as circular bay on the thirteenth century.
