Louis-Babel Ecological Reserve

An amazing and mysterious place on earth. With a dramatic history of an alien meteor of destruction. I just wonder how the fishing is.

The folk were very welcoming, they gave us coffee and beans in the morning. At night we drank firewater around the camp. Beware of the man with the gold tooth and head the warnings of the black caribou with the single antler.

This is a uniquely beautiful nature reserve, because its area is 3.1416 times the square of its radius.

I walked with my mule Pepe for 3 days and nights before we came upon a clearing where Gordon Lightfoot was there alone at a campfire. He had bacon cooking and he had his guitar out. He handed me a proper flannel shirt and then we sang "Old Dan's Records" right before we went swimming in the icy floes. The bacon was crisp and smoky, with just the right amount of salt. BYOB!

One day in my childhood I found a perfectly circular island on a map. Whenever I need something to snap me out of the cold dark of my life, I just look at all the beautiful little lakes and things on that unlikely little island in the middle of the wilderness. I dream of one day going to that far away island and seeing the lakes Ive looked at so many times from satellite, never allowed to drop the little orange dude into street view.

Information The island was formed by the impact of a meteorite 214 million years ago. The meteorite is believed to be about 5 km in diameter, and would have struck the earth at a speed of 17 kilometers per second, with the impact being the fourth most powerful the world has seen. The impact of the meteor formed a crater approximately 100 km in diameter, in the center of which is the island that we know today.

This is the true tower of Babel. Ask the acadians. The meteor was no meteor per se but a act of God to ancient Babylon

Love it. It's everything you could want in a one-of-a-kind natural landmark! Massive and ecologically diverse! Simply breathtakingly and painstakingly beautiful! I think it should be on the list of Wonders of the Natural World!!

Quite a crater, indeed! What is more interesting is the fact that "google maps" does NOT show the actual "North Pole" or, for that matter the "South Pole" either!! When the I.S.S. passes over either pole.....the camera lenses are covered or the feed is cut.

Considering the millions of years of glacial grinding that it's still recognizable is quite amazing. STOP KITTENS
