1:09Now PlayingThe Steinheim Basin in Germany marks a two-mile-wide impact crater from 14.8 million years ago.
The explosive force is estimated at 125 megatons...the equivalent of roughly 8,000 Hiroshima bombs detonating at once.
Any life in the region would have been erased instantly. Later glacial meltwater from the Fennoscandian ice sheet repeatedly flooded the basin, carving gullies and transforming it into a lake again and again.
Today, entire villages sit inside the ancient crater, surrounded by the eroded remnants of one of Europe’s great cosmic collisions.
