Re: 500 km wide impact crater discovered in Antartica
Recently identified by gravity measurements taken by the GRACE satellite
The 300-mile-wide crater lies hidden more than a mile beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. And the gravity measurements that reveal its existence suggest that it could date back about 250 million years -- the time of the Permian-Triassic extinction, when almost all animal life on Earth died out.
