Meteorite Crater
People are very interested into Meteorite Crater because this object is like an unsolved mystery. Result of the explosion of meteorite or creation of nature?
Very interesting creation of nature, round hole with small dam on the northeast part. It could be created as all others Smiltene sand hills and ravines during the ice age when water was flushing through the cracks of the glacier or it had a cosmic origin – and explosion of meteorite. Depth of the crater type hole is 11m and diameter is 85m, forming a relation of the slopes 1:7 – 1:8 that is characteristic to meteorite crates of explosion type. Geological tests show that on the central part of the crater rocks are strongly mixed but study result indicates that this crater type hole could be formed when the quaternary glaciers melted, so the hypothesis of cosmic origin is not approved.
