My nephew James and his wife Heather went on vacation in June. This is the seventh post from their vacation photos. Thank you James!
Meteor Crater Arizona
Over 50,000 years ago space and earth came together when a huge iron-nickel meteorite, approximately 150 feet wide and weighing several hundred thousand tons, impacted an area outside of Flagstaff, Arizona, with a force 150 times greater than an atomic bomb.
Today we’ll visit Meteor Crater Arizona to see the unearthly impact site of an ancient iron-nickel meteorite.

…something significant happened there!
This is in my backyard. I haven’t visited in years. I hope everyone enjoyed it and the Grand Canyon. You have to visit Sedona, Arizona. It’s Gorgeous.
I’ve always wanted to visit Arizona – it looks so beautiful from the photos
I’ve seen such a large crater. I hope that we never experience a large thing like this or larger. Thanks Carol.

I sure wouldn’t want to be around when someing like that lands!
Now that is a big hole in the ground, does not look easy to go down to though. Glad I was not there when that landed
That looks huge.
Great photos. Thank James and Heather on my behalf please!!
I certainly will!
Thanks for sharing these photos. I remember visiting while on a family vacation. You brought back some great memories!
Wow! I would not want to be anywhere near when a meteor hits.
Great pictures
Oh wow! I never heard of this place before. How interesting .
Thanks for sharing these photos. I would love to visit there someday and see it for myself!
It really does make you think about the power of nature. Did you ever tell us where James and his wife are from? They sure had a great vacation and definitely take wonderful pictures.
They live in the greater Detroit area of Michigan and are both teachers. They flew to Las Vegas and rented a vehicle to drive to all the spots they wanted to see.
The power of universe is mind blowing.
Wow! That is big. I’d love to be able to visit Arizona one day.
It looks like your nephew and his wife made the very most of their time on vacation. They have visited some wonderful locations. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Carol. x
I hope you’re having a great day too.
I certainly wouldn’t want to be anywhere near when something this huge lands!
Fabulous photos! Please thank James and Heather on my behalf.
That must have been a whopper! I bet it would have seismographs going crazy!

More fab photos nicely captured and interesting too (◑ ͜ر ◑)
Have a meteortastic week
You can’t mistake that crater for just a hole in the ground!
Impressing! Glad I was not around when this happened! A couple of weeks ago, a small meteorite landed close to my home. I heard a big bang in the middle of the night.
That’s a huge crater, imagining the thud it must have caused.
That is quite an intriguing dip in the ground!
