The second link is a pdf link. This impact crater's sediment study may turn out to be very interesting, IMHO.

I bet that it shows that Earth’s climate has warmed, and cooled thousands of times over the last million years. With man, without man, with dinosaurs, without dinosaurs, with unicorns, without unicorns. One thing that does not happen is that the earth does not change.

CC/GW potential seems very interesting.

I am surprised the global warmers don’t use the melting of the glaciers over the great lakes region just 14,000 years ago as evidence of man made global warming.

Maybe they can find the watch I lost way back when.

Seems to me that glaciers would have pushed debris into the lake despite the fact they didn’t scour the bottom.

Wow I have dived and swam some blue holes before yet never seen such a large ice hole........but then we are talking global warming an AlGore......:o)
Isn’t this the same region that is infested with diamond mines ?

That is a strange looking structure. Must have been buried in ice or sediment that disappeared when the glacier moved on.

Wow! What a cool lake! This one does kind of jump up and down yelling "I'm a meteorite impact!", doesn't it?
To: neverdem
No doubt when the samples from this lake are examined, they will prove once and for all what Algore has been saying all along. There was never any climate change until people started burning stuff for selfish purposes. Now we’ve given the planet a goddamn fever.

That’s right, unless the crater was blown right through the ice and the lip was too substantial for the ice to climb over so it flowed around instead.

The only other thing I can think of is pretty unlikely. The center of the outflow of glacial ice would need to be dead center over the lake.

Lakes here in the permafrost develop from sinkholes and fill in from dust and various living things. That crater appears to have been covered to considerable depth and the soil is now in Indiana after the glacier melted leaving bedrock. It has been exposed for much too short a time for erosion or vegetation to do serious work.

There have been about 8 major warm/cool cycles, but many smaller ones. The earth changes quite a lot. Every time a major volcano erupts [Tambora, Toba, Katmai], a meteor strikes like the dinosaurs 65 mya.

Thanks for posting. I’ve never heard of the lake nor the coring project. It will be very interesting to see the results of their research.
