Presqu'ile Crater, Canada
Lac de la Presqu'ile is a sub-circular lake, about 7 km in diameter with a
prominent central peninsula. The shape of the lake and the occurrence of
shatter cones to the east suggest that an impact created a crater with an
original diameter of at least 12 km (Higgins and Tait, 1990). Deep erosion
of the structure suggests that it was formed in the distant past, at least
several hundred million years ago.
