POPIGAI CRATER

POPIGAI CRATER – Siberia expedition, summer 1999.

On our fifth day inside the crater, a small team took one of the rafts and made a trip deeper into the crater to explore an outcrop of diamond-bearing tagamite (an impactite or meteoritic origin). The high cliffs at left are entirely composed of impact breccias.
