Antarctic Crater

300 mile crater discovered in Antarctica may have caused the Permian Extinction, which killed off approximately 90% of life on Earth 250 million years ago. Meteor was perhaps as large as 30 miles across, while the Yucatan meteor thought to have ended the reign of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago is thought to have been around 6 miles in diameter.
