A newly recognized (but still hypothetical, until they can do a geological survey to confirm) impact crater.
The cute thing is that that was only discovered because of deforestation, allowing satellite imagery to show the tell-tale ring structure, and may well have been first spotted by a random Google Earth surfer.
Exactly. Congrats to everyone else (qwrrty was the first) who found the topical crater reference, and to drbitch who so far has been the only other answerer to also find the Google Earth connection.
