A little known crater gets ready to go public


A little known crater gets ready to go public
A meteor crater in Northern Quebec, which was created 1.4 million years ago, will now become part of a new provincial park, called "Pingualuit". The crater is 3.4 kilometres around, and is filled with pure water. The water is tasteless, colourless, low in mineral content, and contains very little organic material. The water, which is extremely deep and surrounded on all sides by the crater’s steep walls, is only renewed every 330 years.
