Cool Science Stuff from Around the Globe...
Did you know scientists recently discovered a large impact crater beneath the Hiawatha Glacier in northwest Greenland? The iron asteroid that made the 31-kilometer-wide crater was approximately 1.5-kilometer in diameter and may be related to the Cape York meteorite, one of the largest iron meteorites in the world, that collided with Earth almost 10,000-years ago in Greenland. Regardless of its age, based on the size of the Hiawatha crater, the impact very likely had significant environmental consequences in the Northern Hemisphere and possibly globally.
