Wilkes Land crater: The giant hole in East Antarctica's gravitational field likely caused by a meteorite
Researchers have proposed many origins for a gravity anomaly in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, but the latest evidence suggests the subglacial hole is an impact crater measuring 315 miles across.

Earth’s oldest impact crater was just found in Australia – exactly where geologists hoped it would be
> The crater dates back 3.5 billion years, making it the oldest known by more than a billion years.
World’s oldest impact crater found, rewriting Earth’s ancient history
Curtin University researchers have discovered the world’s oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could significantly redefine our understanding of the origins of life and how our planet was shaped.
The team from Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) investigated rock layers in the North Pole Dome — an area of the Pilbara region of Western Australia — and found evidence of a major meteorite impact 3.5 billion years ago.

From Inside Haleakala’s Crater, Looking Out
The crater of Haleakala is a wondrous place I want to explore more.
Besides being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it is one of the most accessible craters you can explore.
Mt. St. Helens? Nope,

The Moon's largest crater, the South Pole–Aitken Basin, spans approximately 2,500 km (1,550 mi) in diameter and plunges as deep as 8.2 km (5.1 mi).
Recent research suggests the basin contains anomalously dense material buried beneath its surface, possibly remnants of the impactor that made the basin itself.
