The Burckle crater is an undersea topographic feature about 29 kilometres (18 mi; 16 nmi) in diameter[1] in the southwestern Indian Ocean. A team of Earth scientists called the Holocene Impact Working Group proposes the feature to be an impact crater; these claims are disputed by other geologists.[2]
