Massive Crater Discovered Under Greenland Ice

In a remote area of northwest Greenland, an international team of scientists has made a stunning discovery, buried beneath a kilometer of ice. It’s a meteor impact crater, 300 meters deep and bigger than Paris or the Beltway around Washington, DC. It is one of the 25 largest known impact craters on Earth, and the first found under any of our planet’s ice sheets. The researchers first spotted the crater in July 2015, while they were inspecting a new map of the topography beneath Greenland's ice sheet that used ice-penetrating radar data primarily from Operation IceBridge, an ongoing NASA airborne mission to track changes in polar ice, and earlier NASA airborne missions in Greenland.

Except for the Ancient Aliens bits both Carlson and Hanckock repeat loudly results of studies conducted by actual scientist - so yes, they "are (repeating them) right". Part of the problem is that science takes time and scientist take their time before they confirm their hypothesis as being ridiculed for doing a sloppy and lousy research job is not a good thing for your future work prospects... Carlson and Hancock call that "government cover-up" of course.

[@Dachande1021]

This appears to be possible evidence for the impact theory starting the Younger Dryas. For those that don't know, during the last interglacial warming period around 14,500 years ago there was a sudden cold snap where instead of warming, the Northern latitudes drastically cooled for around 1000 years. Evidence we have of this period suggests that a large influx of freshwater changed the salinity levels of Northern ocean water to be less salty and thus less dense, causing the cold Northern water to not sink and thus not continue the cycle of convection for ocean circulation. The freshwater forcing on the ocean surface hampered the formation of North Atlantic Deep Water reducing the meridional heat transport, leading to cooling at high northern latitudes. This era of cooling is called the Younger Dryas period, and there is debate as to what exactly caused it. Which brings us back to the impact theory, as stated in the video, a large impact would have melted a vast portion of the ice caps allowing a huge influx of fresh water into the ocean. - I am a senior writing a thesis on the Younger Dryas period.

[@mark11967AD]

Eric Burkhart Very interesting. Could we be triggering another ice age now?

[@EVAUnit4A]

@@mark11967AD No. If Earth was destined for another icing over, that cycle has been at least _delayed_ due to human intervention through greenhouse gasses, and at most is not ready for that natural cycle to start yet _even if_ greenhouse gasses were not a factor. The time it takes the planet to cool off and initiate an ice age takes a long time, and global warming has slowed that down. If another ice age is to come, due to global warming it will come much more rapidly and forcefully (like water breaking through a dam, for example) than it ever has in the past due to that human intervention.

[@funkydozer]

We are still in an ice age, one that began over 2.5 million years ago. We are just in one of it's many interglacial periods, meaning the climate is still cold by Earth standards, but not as cold as it can get. It is a common misconception that because we are not all throwing snowballs at each other all year round, the climate is warm. It really isn't.

And we can not rely on the carbon data after 50.000 years because there would not be any carbon left to date.

I think they've found another, much bigger crater under Antarctica ice sheet in 2017. I remember seeing something about it about four months ago. But this is a pretty interesting find for sure, thanks for sharing!

[@Dragrath1]

Technically it is still a candidate crater as in science the saying is extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and we have not yet been able to acquire samples due to the potential crater being both old and buried quite deeply underneath the Antarctic Ice Sheets. (Drilling through them is very very hard and expensive) Here scientists lucked out in that the Glaciers provided the evidence needed for confirmation of the impact plus Erosion didn't have time to erase the central peak that allows us to differentiate craters from volcanic calderas.

I hate to say it but people today are infants when it comes to proof and how big of a threat something like this is when you listen to what Graham talks about how miniscule our own Cosmic defense budget is which is true is equal to the amount of an Apache attack helicopter which is pathetic these are things that are real look at what happened in Russia couple years ago look at the fact that we have Cosmic neighbors that we are just starting to see that slip from Interstellar space such as Ouimuamua the sheer speed alone from that object whatever it might have been if it would have been impacted the Earth as fast as it was going it could have done some major damage. That right there is what gram and Randall are been trying to tell people from they want though they have theories regarding how old Society really might have been the fact that ancient societies tens if not hundreds of thousands of years ago might have existed as advanced as we are maybe not in the same sort of Technology we see you today but close enough

[@mpetersen6]

If, and it's a really big if. If the data concerning the age of ice layers turns out to be true this indeed could be the smoking gun. There are still other anamolies regarding certain structures that this does not appear to resolve. The Carolina Bays for one. The Younger Dryas was most likely caused by the flooding of the North Atlantic with massive amounts of cold fresh water disrupting the Ocean currents. But something had to have caused that water to be present. I have my doubts about Lake Aggaziz (sp) being a large enough volume to do the job. An impact could well have melted a much larger volume of ice it also could have caused massive numbers of icebergs to calve off the Greenland and Laurentide Ice Caps. These would further bring as much or more in terms of the volume of water into the ocean.

[@marcnebel5680]

@@mpetersen6 It would be interesting to calculate the trajectory of this impact to compare with the impact in Michigan that appears to have caused the debris field recorded by the Carolina Bays. You're absolutely right that we ought not jump to conclusions, perhaps the ice was disrupted in a more ancient crater at that specific time because of the broader climate shifts of the YD. Whatever the caused the North Atlantic flooding, the reality of that global catastrophe isn't in question. Canadian impact, solar outburst, Atlantean HAARP project, ancient gold eating giant alien gods? Hard to say. What if it's not a smoking gun- it's a smoking machine gun that sprayed a burst asteroid across the northern latitudes? Wouldn't that be excitingly terrifying? Now to figure out what flash froze all the mammoths at those same latitudes in some other age. We sure have it good. For now! Hopefully this helps light a fire under the asteroid id & tracking budget.

[@michaelforsyth2244]

@@mpetersen6 It is quite possible that this was one of many impacts that occurred in a short period of time. Explosions on entry are documented and if it came from a meteor shower there may have been several entering over a short period.

[@DrAskildsen]

Thing is carbon dating has a limitation to 50.000 years back because after that we can only guess when it happened. Because all of the famous sites are older than that. And we can not rely on the carbon data after 50.000 years because there would not be any carbon left to date. So That means we have to rely on translating the tablets accurate and educate people to translate rather than looking for carbon test, The Sumerians clay tablets are important, 20% is translated. What if the key to unlocking the tablets, lays in your head. That is why all need to care.

[@Diamonddavej]

No, even if the crater did date to the start of the Younger Dryas, it does not prove Hancock and Carlson's theories at all. We already know there was an abrupt climate change event at the start of the Younger Dryas 12,900 years ago, that is accepted widely by scientists, not controversial. We just don't know for sure what that happened. This may explain why that climate change event happened, that it was a meteorite impact. However, knowing the cause of the Younger Dryas event wouldn't prove Hancock and Carlson alternative archeological theories, it would not prove the existence of end of ice age civilizations ~12,900 year ago, not would it rewrite the dates of ancient civilizations - the age of the pyramids, the sphinx etc. Hancock and Carlson haven't proved their their ancient civilizations theories. It might settle the Clovis comet hypothesis, but that's it.

[@Charliebronson19852]

Why would an impact like this be unlikely to happen again soon? We go through the Taurid meteor stream twice a year every year. If the event of 1908, which was likely a meteor from the taurid meteor stream given the fact that it hit during the time we were going through it, had happened today over a large city it would mean thousands, if not millions, of people would be dead and billions of dollars in damages. I don’t see this as unlikely to happen again any time soon. There’s many large meteors in that stream that pose a threat to earth. The most disturbing thing about it is how little financial support we put toward defence from asteroids and meteors. We put more money into bombs a year than we do in space defence. Nobody with any authority to do anything significant about this is paying any attention to this very real threat
