Five Mysterious Craters in the World, Can Be a Sign of Doomsday

VIVA – Nature has much beauty and save many mysteries that are endless to unravel. In fact, not even 2/3 of the mysteries of nature have been revealed by people.

The mysteries of nature around us are often referred to as natural phenomena. One of them is the presence of several craters which may be said to be strange by most people. In fact, there is also a sign of the presence of the doomsday.

While Earth itself is home to some incredible craters with an equally remarkable history, not all crater sites are easily accessible and for real-life human spectacle. Here are some of the mysterious craters in the world.

1. Barringer Crater

Barringer Crater is a meteor crater that formed relatively recently only 50,000 years ago when an iron meteor measuring 30 meters to 50 meters struck the Colorado Plateau in Northern Arizona, according to the Lunar and Planetary Institute.

The origin of this strangest crater in the world was first identified by mining engineer Daniel Moreau Barringer who believed that the crater was the result of a meteor hitting the Earth. Despite much opposition, the experts continued to investigate the crater for years.

2. Lonar Crater

Lonar Crater is in the highlands of South India. According to NASA's Earth Observatory, this crater is the largest meteorite crater that has baffled experts since its identification in 1823 by British officer C.J.E Alexander. This crater is on a plain of basaltic rock left over from a volcanic eruption.

Initially this crater was thought to be a volcano. However, it is now known that this crater was formed from 35,000 to 50,000 years ago, as a result of a meteor. Lonar Crater is the only impact crater known to have formed in the basalt.

3. Ijen Crater

Ijen Crater in Indonesia is a turquoise colored crater lake. This is because of the bright citrus green stones surrounded by white bubbles surrounding the turquoise lake.
