Ungava Crater

The Ungava Crater is an impact crater located in northern Quebec near Ungava Bay. The meteor crater is 3.44 Km in diameter and over 400 meters deep. I have seen it from the air several times now but have never been close to it on the ground. It would be a great place to explore in the short summer. The water in the crater bowl is a deep blue colour. This photograph shows the crater in it's usual arctic deep freeze state. The Ungava Crater is also known as the Chubb Crater or The Northern Quebec Crater.
