Hi All,

Looks like a very obvious impact crater in northern Canada.  Evidently
this feature was first spotted by a U.S. Air Force Navigator back in
the 1960's using ground mapping radar, but based on the above image
I should think it would have been easily spotted in regular aerial
photography.  Is this feature a known and named impact?
