The Maniitsoq structure was a proposed 3 billion-year-old (3 Ga) impact structure located in the Akia terrane of the North Atlantic Craton,[1][2] centred about 55 km (34 mi) south-east of the town of Maniitsoq, Greenland, at 65°15′N51°50′W / 65.250°N 51.833°W / 65.250; -51.833 (Maniitsoq). However, the Maniitsoq structure has not been widely recognised as an impact structure, and the proposal was criticised for not meeting established criteria for recognising impact craters.[2][3] Furthermore, subsequent studies in the region have demonstrated that there is no evidence for an impact structure, and in fact a number of observations directly contradict the earlier impact structure proposals.[4][5][6][7] The Maniitsoq structure is not recognised as an impact structure by the Earth Impact Database.[8]
