The lake made by meteorites hitting the earth
Located in Buldhana, about 500 km from Mumbai, this lake is said to have formed a spherical Lonar lake 52,000 years ago after a meteorite of 10 million tons hit the earth.
Scientists believe the meteorite was equivalent to the detonation of a six-megaton atomic bomb. The lake has a depth of about 150 meters and a diameter of 1.8 kilometers. It is the best-preserved circular lake in the world. The lake water is saline.
