200 of the Largest Earth Impact Craters Mapped

I am predisposed to like videos about meteorite craters but this was even more interesting than I anticipated.

A nice example of a crater 2-3 km wide is Rotor Kamm in southern Africa. I should mention that we’re easily into city killer impacts here, in case you’re wondering.

You can explore the Earth Impact Database on their website. (via @michaelhobbes.bsky.social)
