Storia nascosta

A star fell here

The Kaali crater was made by a meteorite.

Leggi la storiaChiudi

Some three to four thousand years ago a meteorite broke up over Saaremaa and made a group of craters near Kaali. The largest, about 110 metres across, holds a round lake, and archaeologists found offerings around it. Some think the sight of fire falling from the sky entered the old myths of the Baltic and Scandinavia.
