Camping at freezing temperatures, and thankful for the auxiliary heating system.
Once upon a time, 15.000.000 years ago...

Back in the 60's of the last century an American geologist named Eugene Shoemaker confirmed that a (depression) part of the Bavarian landscape was formed by a meteor impact. The asteroid was about 1.5 km (1 mi) in diameter, it hit Earth at a speed of 50.000+ km (31,000 mi) roughly 15 million years ago and caused a crater with diameter of 24 km (15 mi). It was also found that the specific formation of the impact is called rampart crater and is very unique, with others only found on Mars. The silhouette of the impact crater can be seen from space but there are also some specific spots where a trained eye will discover certain surface patterns resembling the crater rim.
