Chicxulub Crater Tour
The Chicxulub crater, a vast scar hidden beneath the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, is the testimony of a catastrophic event that altered the course of life on Earth. Approximately 112 miles in diameter, this crater was formed 66 million years ago, the result of the impact of a huge asteroid or comet. This cosmic event is directly linked to the mass extinction that decimated the dinosaurs and most terrestrial species. | Unsolved Mysteries & Paranormal Activities

El cráter de Chicxulub, formado por el impacto del meteorito que extinguió a los dinosaurios, tiene unas dimensiones colosales: Diámetro: aproximadamente 180 kilómetros (incluso algunas estimaciones lo extienden a 200 km). Profundidad original: alrededor de 20 km, aunque con el paso de millones de años se ha ido rellenando con sedimentos. Para ponerlo en perspectiva: Es tan grande que cubriría por completo ciudades enteras como Londres, Nueva York o Ciudad de México. Es uno de los cráteres de im

Chicxulub Crater Formation
Beneath Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula lies the Chicxulub crater, a 180-km-wide scar formed 66 million years ago by a 10–15-km asteroid striking at 20 km/s. The impact unleashed energy equal to billions of atomic bombs, causing global wildfires, tsunamis, and a dust-filled “impact winter” that ended non-avian dinosaurs. #ChicxulubCrater | Historical Chronicles

66 million years ago, an asteroid caused 75% extinction. Uncover this history at Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness, a fossil paradise in New Mexico. The asteroid's impact created a thin layer of iridium—an element rare on Earth but common in asteroids—in rock strata all over the world, marking the precise boundary of the extinction event for geologists. | Revealed
