Wilkes Land crater

The Wilkes Land mass concentration is one of two possible meteorite impact sites hidden beneath the ice cap of Wilkes Land, East Antarctica.

Its coordinates are 70°S 120°E. It was first reported at a conference in May 2006 by a team of researchers led by Ralph von Frese and Laramie Potts of Ohio State University.^[1] The hypothesis was published in a paper by Weihaupt in 1976.^[2]^[3]
