00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
A team lead by a NASA scientist has discovered a second possible impact crater

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000
buried beneath the ice in Northwest Greenland.

3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.000
This follows the discovery of the first ever crater found under an ice sheet,

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.000
the 18-mile wide Hiawatha impact crater, located just 114 miles away.

5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.000
The crater was discovered using NASA satellite images of the ice sheet surface, and radar data from airborne missions like Operation IceBridge.

6
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.000
The new 22-mile wide structure, if confirmed, would be the 22nd largest crater on Earth.

7
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.000


8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000


9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.000


10
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.000


11
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.000
Using data from the lunar and terrestrial impact records, the team determined statistically that it’s possible the two craters

12
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.000
formed at very different times in Earth’s history, even though they’re relatively close to each other.
