The halo ring!

Mt first thought was: "Nah that's Halo Infinite".

It specifically looks like the north part of the point where you emerge to the ring's surface for the first time. I remember trying to go there with a Wasp looking for collectibles. Don't remember if zone was accessible tho.

The Azores are an incredibly beautiful place. And this island is itty bitty in the archipelago.

To my supprise the crater is about the size of the biggest nascar tracks.

Curiosity got the better of me, so for anyone else; it's a postmortem volcano caldera, not a meteor crater as I first thought.

I mean, did you think a meteor landed smack dad in the middle of a tiny island? It certainly would not raise the seafloor up that high on the sides of a crater.

…nice Liquor: „Mulher de Capote“ and lots of wine:
„The finest volcanic wines are produced on the pitch-black soils of the Azores - highly mineral, fine and with an explosive salty note.“

So are these fields for growing crops or sheep herding mostly?

13 hours ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'm gonna guess sheep seeing as it would be hard to farm at that angle. I also think I see sheep in the bottom left.

That made me want to Google Earth the location and while it doesn't have a street view, there is a photo of people sitting in a bar and all are wearing what looked like winter gear. The lifelong amateur meteorologist in me would like to know what that island's climate is like, most likely slightly cooler and more maritime-like than the likes of Tenerife and Canary Islands but pretty much constant all the year around.

It’s pretty far north

14 hours ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's pretty much at the same latitude as Madrid and New York but most likely feel the effects of Atlantic low pressure systems. I can imagine it experiences very little variation in temperatures being in 15 C to 20 C zone all year around.

Pretty telltale when you have what looks like a mountain that got hit by a meteorite!
Not saying it couldn't happen, but the odds are pretty slim

Thinking more like massive impact crater but ocean levels charged over years, yadda, yadda
