Meteor Crater, located near the town of Winslow in northern Arizona, is considered one of the best-preserved impact sites of extraterrestrial bodies on Earth.. According to Alana Lecher, associate professor at Lynn University, this was made possible by the region's dry climate and lack of significant vegetation cover, which allowed the crater to maintain its original appearance for 50,000 years..
This unique formation in the ground has impressive dimensions: 1.2 km wide and about 183 meters deep.. In addition to the breathtaking view, tourists can visit the museum and cafe located on the site, as well as go on an excursion included in the ticket price.
