Title: Gora Konder Crater, Yakutsk, CIS
Description:
Gora Konder Crater, Yakutsk, CIS (57.5N,134.5E) is located in a very remote
region of the Republic of Yakutsk, CIS where little ground survey work has
been done. It is not known for certain wether Gora Konder crater is the
extinct caldera of an ancient volcano or an impact crater from a meteor
strike since both occurrences may often exhibit similar visual appearances
and only a ground survey can make a positive determination.
