Tourist shows best-preserved meteorite impact site on Earth (1 photo + 1 video)

The girl shared footage of a natural landmark that impresses with its history and scale.



The video with the caption "Did you know that the best-preserved meteorite crater in the world is in Arizona?" shows a panoramic view of the crater under a bright blue sky. The tourist noted that she had never seen anything like it before.

The meteorite crater, located near the city of Winslow in northern Arizona, is considered one of the best-preserved sites of extraterrestrial impacts on Earth. According to Alana Lecher, an associate professor at Lynn University, this was made possible by the region's dry climate and lack of significant vegetation, which allowed the crater to retain its pristine appearance for 50,000 years.

This unique formation in the earth has impressive dimensions: 1.2 km in width and about 183 meters in depth. In addition to the breathtaking view, tourists can visit the museum and cafe located on the site, as well as go on a tour included in the ticket price.
