Terrestrial Impact Craters: The original crater diameter was 100 km. What is visible today is the result of the impoundment of two arched lakes, Manicouagan and Mouchalagan, and topography created by a large impact event approximately 212 million years ago. The island at center is Ile Rene-Levasseur and is a resistant melt sheet resulting from the impact.
