该遗产地位于南非东北部，面积占巴伯顿绿岩带的40％，这是世界上最古老的地质结构之一。巴伯顿·玛空瓦山脉代表了历史上保存最完好的火山岩和沉积岩的演替，其历史可追溯至36-25亿年前，当时第一块大陆开始在原始地球上形成。流星撞击后形成的砾岩是这里的特征，这些砾岩是在紧接“重型轰炸”（4.6-3.8亿年前）之后的陨石撞击造成的。

Situated in north-eastern South Africa, the Barberton Makhonjwa Mountains comprises 40% of the Barberton Greenstone Belt, one of the world’s oldest geological structures. The property represents the best-preserved succession of volcanic and sedimentary rock dating back 3.6 to 3.25 billion years and forms a diverse repository of information on surface conditions, meteorite impacts, volcanism, continent-building processes and the environment of early life.
