Barringer Crater

The Barringer Crater is a natural wonder.

Description
The Barringer Crater is a huge meteorite crater located in Arizona, United States of America. The crater is 4,000 feet (1.22 kilometers) in diameter.

Scientists believe that it was created some 50,000 years ago, when the site was hit by a large nickel-iron meteorite weighing (at time of impact) 160,000 tons and moving at perhaps 27,000 miles per hour (more than 43,400 kilometers per hour).
