Manicouagan Reservoir

Manicouagan Reservoir is an annular lake in central Quebec, Canada. Annular lakes, also called impact crater lakes, are ring-shaped bodies of water formed by the impact of a meteor; and Manicouagan was formed by a meteorite around 214 million years ago. Covering 1,942 square kilometers (750 square miles), it is clearly seen from space and is sometimes called the “eye of Quebec.”
