巴林格陨石坑(Barringer Crater)位于Flagstaff以东大约56km处,于1902年由Barringer发现。据推算,5万年前,一块陨石以2万6千英里的时速撞击地球,形成陨石坑。现在的陨石坑周长2.4英里,深达550英尺。目前,陨石坑仍然属于私人所有。
Meteor Crater
The most well known, best preserved meteorite crater on Earth!
Visit the world’s best preserved meteorite impact site just minutes from Interstate 40 in Northern Arizona near Winslow. Meteor Crater is the breath-taking result of a collision between a piece of an asteroid traveling at 26,000 miles per hour and planet Earth approximately 50,000 years ago.

Today, Meteor Crater is nearly one mile across, 2.4 miles in circumference and more than 550 feet deep. It is an international tourist venue with outdoor observation trails, air conditioned indoor viewing, wide screen movie theater, interactive discovery center, unique gift and rock shop, and Astronaut Memorial Park at the modern Visitor Center located on the crater rim.
Meteor Crater's "Collisions And Impacts" movie allows viewers to experience the thunderous sound and explosive fury of the meteor's super-heated trip through the Earth's atmosphere. Then, the spectacular result of the collision that rocked the American Southwest with the energy of more than 20 million tons of TNT can be explored first-hand just outside the Visitor Center at Meteor Crater Arizona.

因为人家的土地是私有的,公民私有财产神圣不可侵犯。中国人是不是无法理解。
