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. NOVEMBER 10, 2000
