Impact structures in Sweden

[Astrofriend]

Hi,
We have been on trip to Northern Sweden this summer. Among other things we visited two meteorite craters, Dellen 20 km and Siljansringen 51 km. I have written a small report about those visits here.

Siljansringen:

Both of them are one of the best preserved and big impact structures in Europe and it's easy to visit them.

They are amazing photographs Lars. The view from that tower was spectacular and it's nice to see someone isn't getting drenched, LOL
I'm trying to remember which old American movie featured a crater which isn't full of water, maybe Starman, I can't remember. It seems natural with the lower impact areas water would collect and fill them in.


Ah, it was indeed the 1984 release of Starman:

Really enjoyed these photo essays of the 2 impact craters, excellent photos and descriptions and nice weather from the looks of the blue skies and calm waters. Thanks for sharing your astro travels with us.
