Talk:Lonar

This article says Lonar is near the only saltwater lake in the world. I was under the impression the Great Salt Lake in Utah was a saltwater lake. Petr-rofine 10:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

It is the only salt water lake in Basaltic rocks.[1]and the oldest crater lake in the world. But it is the third largest salt water lake in the world with a diameter of 1710 m and 137 m deep; the other two lakes are the Bosmatvi lake in Ghana with a diameter of 10,000 meter and the New Cubec lake in Canada with a Diameter of 3500 meter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nvvchar (talk • contribs) 14:16, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Lonar Crater is about 50,000 years old. There are impact craters with lakes that are well over 1,000,000 years old. http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/10-greatest-major-impact-craters-on-earth/1403 New Cubec Crater/Lake is actually New Quebec Crater or Pingualuit crater which has the second purest water of any lake in the world.

Question about actual Lonar location

The coordinates for Lonar (village) were placed kilometers off of the google map location. I googled "Lonar, India" and the point was shown to be south of a population area as seen on the satellite view. The google map name is "Lonai". Another mapping service showed Lonar to be east of google's location in an empty field. I adjusted the coordinates to be at a major intersection in the populated area. I did a number of searches, but could not find any more information on the location of Lonar. Anyone know if the coordinates 19°59′06″N 76°31′23″E is acceptable?

The coordinate reference for Lonar: Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Lonar rounds the coordinates to the nearest minute, which is outside of the populated area. Should the reference be changed or deleted?

I need to figure out how to adjust the zoom. Google zooms rather far out. Jim1138 (talk) 00:26, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
