This is interesting. A piece of comet hit Siberia in 1908. It exploded with such force that is flattened miles of forest. I've seen recent pictures that are pretty interesting.

I've seen those same pictures on the Discovery Channel --- Tunguska, 1908. No crater was found because the icy comet exploded in the earth's atmosphere before contact with the ground.

There are a couple of possible ancient meteor craters in eastern Canada. The southeast corner of Hudson Bay has a remarkably circular shape that would indicate a possible impact site, with the Belcher Islands as the "cone" of the crater.
Also, the Manicouagan Reservoir is a peculiar circular body of water surrounding a large land mass that was formed behind the Daniel Johnson Dam in northeastern Quebec.
