Rare Meteorite Crater Discovered On Google Maps
View Larger Map
Another day, another new discovery found in Google Maps. This time a rare meteorite crater was discovered by Dr Arthur Hickman. A crater credited to his name.
Measuring 260 metres wide and up to 30 metres deep, the divot is thought to be between 10,000 and 100,000 years old and was stumbled upon in the rich, rust coloured landscape of the Hamersley Ranges in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
If confirmed, the Hickman Crater will become just the 30th officially-verified meteorite impact crater in Australia and the first such discovery since 2005.
