A camper searching Google Maps found a massive ancient crater. This Canadian site adds to Earth's roughly 200 confirmed impact structures.
An October 2025 expedition found shatter cones, disproving geological maps that blamed ancient volcanoes. It began when Joël Lapointe spotted a 25-kilometer circular pattern in Quebec in 2024, which field teams later confirmed as a 390-million-year-old asteroid impact.
