Mien (lake)

About

Mien is a lake in southern Sweden, 12 km (7.5 mi) southwest of the town of Tingsryd. The lake lies within a meteorite crater. 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 (5.6 mi) in diameter before erosion. Its age is estimated to be 121.0 ± 2.3 million years (Early Cretaceous).
