Description

Looking down into the bright green waters of the largest of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaali_crater" rel="nofollow">Kaali meteorite craters</a> on Saaremaa island in Estonia.

This crater is 110 meters in diameter and 22 meters deep, it was created by a meteor fragment between 4,000 and 7,600 years ago. On the walls of the crater a fortified settlement was founded during the Late Bronze Age. Later the crater was surrounded by a strong stone wall and was probably used as a place for water sacrifices. The bottom sediments of the lake are about 6 meters thick and have yet to be examined by archaelogists or geologists.
