Proba-V: the eye of Quebec
The Proba-V 333m image of 03 March 2015 shows the Manicouagan crater, located in Manicouagan Region of Quebec, Canada.
This lake represents one of the largest craters, roughly 100km, originating by an impact of a 5km diameter meteorite about 214 million years ago during the Triassic Period. In the middle of the lake, there is an island named René-Levasseur Island.
Together, Lake Manicouagan and René-Levasseur Island make an interesting geographical feature, easily visible from space. As both the lake and the island are almost perfect circle, they are often called the “eye of Quebec”.
