When the meteors slammed into Earth, Jämtland was just a seafloor, about 1,600 feet below the surface of the water.

It seems strange to me that they would create craters with 1600' of sea to get through first. Does this sound odd to anyone else?

The Eltanin impact crater is about 2 million years old, and was found about 50 years ago, in the southern ocean, off Antarctica.

Water, being incompressible, transmitted a dulled but effective impact.
