Barringer Crater
Barringer Crater, commonly known as Meteor Crater, is easily spotted while driving along the I-40 east of the town of Flagstaff, Arizona.
It's the site of a meteorite impact around 50,000 years ago. It's 1.2km in diameter, 170m deep and the rim is about 45m above the land on the outer side. Put simply, it's big!
It's also the world's first confirmed impact site, in part thanks to it's location on the flat Arizona plain and relatively unaltered condition.
This photo was created with 4 photos stitched into a panorama in Lightroom.
