crater in the greater Atlantic Ocean basin, somewhere between Greenland and Antarctica (see map). How do you estimate their chances for success, and why? Moderate, given enough time - the technology for sea-floor imaging is very good Poor - plate movements at the spreading centers and transform boundaries along the mid-Atlantic Ridge would have disrupted the original circular shape of the crater None - all the seafloor in the Atlantic is too young relative to the supposed impact
