Mien crater

Lake Mien in Sweden

Mien is a meteorite crater in southern Sweden, 12 km (7.5 mi) southwest of the town of Tingsryd.

The eroded crater is marked by a 5.5-km (3.4-mi) diameter circular lake (Lake Mien). The original crater rim is estimated to have been about 9 km in diameter prior to erosion.^[3] Its age is estimated to be 121.0 ± 2.3 million years (Lower Cretaceous).^[4]
