Hello Piper and List

Hi, All,
The peruvian geologist from INGEMMET said
the water table there is one meter below grade, so you
couldn't see down past that anywhere in the area:

And the crater isn't flat or level and it's full of

Hi, Mike, List,
Did the photographer indicate what angle his camera was when he took the smoke

Maybe it's just an optical illusion to me, but my perception is that the trail

Hello List
Before the Meteorite can be remove from the crater, the water table must be
lowered first. Pumping the water out of the crater is useless, it will fill
right back in, like a water well, and as soon as you start digging you will
hit more water and make mud
What needs to be done, is
Yes Darren...good idea! And if they want to preserve the crater perhaps
they should dig the crater up and move it to higher ground! ;-)
