Current Goal

Visit meteor impact craters around the world.  Some examples include Meteor Crater, Arizona; Upheaval Dome; Utah; Chicxulub, Mexico; etc., but there are many impact craters around the world worth visiting.

A list is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_impact_craters_on_Earth, and a list specific to North America is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_impact_craters_in_North_America

I never knew there were so many impact craters around until I saw this list!

Happy caching and enjoy visiting some craters.  Pictures are always appreciated :)

About This Item

Lake Lappajärvi in west-central Finland was formed in an eroded meteorite impact crater. The crater is 23 km (14 miles) wide, and the impact is estimate to be roughly 77 million years ago, which was during the late Cretaceous period. 

This geocoin was made for the Greatest Crater in Europe MEGA event that was planned for June 2020 at Lappajärvi. Unforunately, this event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis, so I bought the coin online and thought it would be great to travel around the world visiting other impact craters.
