Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Map of size and location of Chicxulub crater
Chicxulub crater. Map showing the size and location of the Chicxulub impact crater, Mexico. The impact 65 million years ago may have helped to cause the extinction of the dinosaurs. The map covers the Gulf of Mexico, with the USA at top (green), Mexico at left and bottom (pink) and Cuba at right (red). The crater (purple) is at the top of the Yucatan Peninsula. Research published in 1995 showed the crater to be about 180 km across. Although at the small end of the range of previous estimates, the crater was produced by an event of awesome energy. The impact threw trillions of tons of dust into the atmosphere and may have altered the climate enough to kill off the dinosaurs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the map of the Chicxulub crater, a monumental impact site in Mexico that played a significant role in the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. The map encompasses the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico, with vibrant green representing the United States at the top, pink symbolizing Mexico on the left and bottom, and Cuba depicted in striking red on the right. Atop the Yucatan Peninsula lies this awe-inspiring purple crater, measuring approximately 180 km across as revealed by groundbreaking research published in 1995. While it falls within the smaller range of previous estimates, its creation was an event fueled by unimaginable energy. The impact unleashed trillions of tons of dust into Earth's atmosphere, potentially leading to climate changes that ultimately contributed to dinosaur extinction. This remarkable artwork not only serves as a testament to our planet's tumultuous history but also highlights humanity's unending curiosity about our environment and geography. It reminds us how interconnected all aspects of life are – from ancient cataclysms shaping ecosystems to modern scientific exploration unraveling their mysteries.
