I believe it is the largest crater of it's kind on the planet - or so I recall from what a Conservation Officer in the park once stated at the night time open theatre there. It is my understanding that the Canadian shield is a glacially plowed over mountain range. Whether the crater was formed before or after this I do not know. This is accurate to the best of my knowledge, if anyone has more accurate info, please correct my inaccuracy(s). Since a number of claimed abductee's/contactee's/experiencers claim they have been shown images of a large asteriod (or whatever) hitting the earth in the future, it's relevance for our own understanding should not be discounted.
