Pretty cool, not quite the same, since we know what it is.

But thanks for making me spend the rest of my afternoon wikipediaing around on random geological occurrences.

I love that Pingualuit crater was formerly called "Chubb Crater"

I didn't really get why he proposed to call it Chubb crater. Chubb didn't discover it or anything.

Funny I visited #1 "Meteor Crater" or Barringer Crater last year with my wife.. It's hard to understand the scale of this thing until you're on the ground walking around it. Makes you feel very small in the grand scheme of things.. :)
