Holiday Wales (AXcess News) Washington - Scientists have discovered what they believe to be a 300-mile wide giant crater below the Antarctic ice made when a meteor struck the Earth before the time dinosaurs roamed the land. The giant meteor that created the crater struck the Earth over 250 million years ago causing the greatest mass extinction on Earth.

St. Director of Tourism Since 1998 Mr. Peter Hilary Modeste has served, as the Director of Tourism of the St. Lucia Tourist Board. President of the St. Lucia Hotel & Tourism Association, Mr. Modeste has been employed within the tourism sector for a number of years. He was educated at the University of Wales and is married with three children. A former Minister of Education, Mr. Modeste has served on a number of national organizations including the St. Lucia Development Bank.

Researchers from Ohio State University believe that the meteor's impact broke up the so-called Gondwana supercontinent, which pushed Australia northward.

Caravan Holiday In Wales Ralph von Frese, a professor of geological sciences at Ohio State University, was quoted as saying, "This Wilkes Land impact is much bigger than the impact that killed the dinosaurs, and probably would have caused catastrophic damage at the time."

Camping Holiday Wales Using NASA's Grace Satellites, Frese and his colleagues found the 300-mile wide crater by looking at differences in density that show up in gravity measurements. Researchers spotted a mass concentration, which they call a mascon-dense stuff that welled up from the mantle, likely in an impact, Space.com's Robert Britt reports.

is not easy to access but that is part of its appeal. Amidst such solitude, adventurous travellers}can discover an ethereal landscape that lingers in the memory. Very few have ventured onto the continent and those who do usually rave about the privilege of gazing upon topography that yields towering mountains, bulky glaciers and luminous, dreamlike icebergs. Perhaps more than anywhere else, Antarctica reminds those who visit it...

Holiday Last Minute Wales Had the crater been on the Moon, it would still retain its outer ridge due to there being no atmosphere to weather it down. Frese and his colleagues usedairborne radar images to verify their mascon findings.

The Chicxulub space rock is thought to have been 6 miles wide, while the Wilkes Land meteor could have been up to 30 miles wide, the researchers said.
