Update: My apologies, but recent studies show that the Clearwater Lakes were not formed during the same time, but they formed approx. 175 million years apart, they are located beside each other by sheer coincidence, apologies for the confusion.🙏
Your apologies? The earth is only about 10 000 old years give or take. Where do you get this ridiculous number of the earth being a million + years old? Absolute ridiculousness.
Great content. Also its believed that the clearwater lakes were formed in different events and are situated right next to each other by sheer coincidence
another impact crater (albeit one that has significantly less of a typical crater shape due to years of erosion and sedimentary processes infilling it) is the sudbury basin. The sudbury basin is either the second or third largest impact crater on the planet that we know of and for years was an important source for rarer minerals (I think platinum but I can't remember)
What about the Sudbury impact crater? It’s huge, and the asteroid that hit it was enormous and ultimately resulted in the nickel, gold, silver etc caused by the event? 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
Yes the Sudbury basin is huge approx 130 In diameter, while it is impressive in the video I am only talking about impact crater LAKES, not just impact craters (which Canada has many more of)
The Canadian Encyclopedia estimates over 2 million lakes. Wikipedia estimates 250,000 in Ontario alone. But, I think it's impossible to say for sure. Glaciation carved up Canada and Siberia real good.
Thanks you! Appreciate it. I for one do not think Quebec is a joke, it’s a beautiful province and region of Canada, with Canada’s best city (in my opinion).
There are many craters, just a quick look of the shield on google earth and you see the scoured landscape, hundreds of thousands of lakes and many circular lakes, Atleast some of which have been caused by meteorites.
@@Urban_Atlas The one i saw was on a map at a corner store with a baitshop before the Ontario - Manitoba border. It had an MNR topographical map as well as some satellite images. I'd tried to look on google earth for that feature after our fishing trip. I'd have loved to have took a picture on the map to pinpoint which big island had the crater feature. Lidar of the shield could expose much more for sure hidden beneath the canopy. Great video. 😎btw
Sudbury, Ontario is built on the edge of the third largest crater in the world which is just under 2 billion years old. It is bigger than any of the ones mentioned in this video. The crater is still visible from space and can be easily seen on google maps. It lost it's circular formation and has become oval over time.
You need to get your facts straight. With regards to the Clearwater lakes, one is considerably older than the other. Clearwater East is about 460 million years old, and Clearwater West is 290 or so.
Yes that’s my bad, my atlas that I used for my primary source is a bit older, the theory regarding the fact that the lakes were formed independently is a more recent one. Hence i had older information on hand. Apologies for the confusion.
I’m sorry you feel that way, my atlas I use for my primary source is a bit outdated, i regretfully did not read any recent literature regarding the Clearwater lakes, hence I didn’t get a chance to read the updated theory regarding the impact craters at Clearwater.

I don't usually leave comments on UA-cam but I have to tell you your channel is amazing, I listen to all your videos, keep it up!
Thank you so much 🙏. I appreciate you, thank you so much for leaving this comment, made my day 😊.
The Clearwater Lakes are now believed to have been formed approximately 175M years apart.
Thank you, that was very interesting. I really appreciate it that you do your own dialogue.
Thank you. I don’t want AI doing voiceover, just doesn’t feel authentic to me, glad you enjoyed it!
Really nice, thoroughly enjoyed
🙏🙏🙏
Very cool video and incredibly informative. I've been to Crater Lake, Oregon. It's gorgeous.
Thanks man! I haven’t been to crater lake, I would love to go!
@@Urban_Atlas Crater Lake in Oregon is a volcanic feature, not of meteoric impact origin.
Great content. Also its believed that the clearwater lakes were formed in different events and are situated right next to each other by sheer coincidence
Yes you are correct, I made a mistake with the research for the Clearwater lakes, they are indeed beside each other by coincidence!
another impact crater (albeit one that has significantly less of a typical crater shape due to years of erosion and sedimentary processes infilling it) is the sudbury basin. The sudbury basin is either the second or third largest impact crater on the planet that we know of and for years was an important source for rarer minerals (I think platinum but I can't remember)
That’s right! It’s a massive crater and another one on the Canadian Shield. I would have included it in this video if it has a impact crater lake!
What about the Sudbury impact crater? It’s huge, and the asteroid that hit it was enormous and ultimately resulted in the nickel, gold, silver etc caused by the event? 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

@@Urban_Atlas Robinson Lake. It’s huge and was round until we got our hands on it. I lived there for a while … 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
@@Urban_Atlas pretty sure lake wannapitae in sudbury was formed by a meteorite

💯💯💯
As a Canadian I appreciate your videos - please keep them up.
Also the rest of Canada really treats Quebec as a joke.
Thanks you! Appreciate it. I for one do not think Quebec is a joke, it’s a beautiful province and region of Canada, with Canada’s best city (in my opinion).
very nice video!
Thank you so much 🙏
Heading out to Manicouagan next summer in my pick up truck camper. Should find some very interesting rocks made by the impact.
Nice! Should be a great trip, a unique and beautiful area! Have a great trip 🙏
Canada has 50% of all the lakes on the planet, its over 2 million lakes
Yep!
first comment. I wonder what craters are hidden in othe parts of the shield. I think there might be one on an large island in ;ale of the woods.

You lost me when you said the Clearwater impacts happened simultaneously👎

It’s pronounced wanikwagan.
