Hiawatha Crator: A possible glimpse into the earth’s climate history
A 31Km wide impact crater in Greenland, known as the Hiawatha impact crater buried under ice was dated by researchers and has been stated that the meteorite impacted a few million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs and sheds new light on Earth's evolution in the post-dinosaur era. Since 2015, when geologists from the University of Copenhagen's GLOBE Institute found the Hiawatha impact crater in north-eastern Greenland, there has been much controversy over the crater's age. The Natural History Museum of Denmark and the GLOBE Institute at the University of Copenhagen, as well as the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm, have conducted new analyses on grains of sand and pebbles from the Hiawatha impact crater, demonstrating that it is much older. In fact, according to a new study published today in the journal Science Advances, the crater is said to be 58 million years old. Dr Gavin Kenny of the Swedish Museum of Natural History said that "In the...
