Pantasma: The Crater People Still Live In
A bilingual geoheritage project documenting Nicaragua’s Pantasma impact crater as a scientific site, working valley, and possible visitor destination.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the project around four encounter types: a rim circuit, an impact-geology walk, dark-sky nights, and coffee-based agrotourism. Its geological account places the crater floor near 400 metres and the rim above 1,000 metres, while identifying impact glass, coesite, reidite, and a chondritic chromium signature as evidence. The page distinguishes its reconstruction of the impact from a photograph and frames UNESCO Global Geopark status as a heritage pattern rather than a confirmed designation.
