	Manicouagan Reservoir
		Manicouagan Reservoir (also Lake Manicouagan) is a annular lake in northern Quebec, Canada, the remnant of an impact crater made approximate 210 million years ago, towards the end of the Triassic period.
		The lake was created by flooding from the massive Manicouagan or Manic (Manic 1, Manic 2...) series of hydroelectric projects undertaken by Hydro-Quebec, the provincial electrical utility, during the 1960s.
		In the peak period of the winter colds the lake surface is usually lower since the turbines are run all the time at peak load, to meet the massive electrical heating needs of the province.

		Fed by 4 rivers, it drains south, via the Rivière MANICOUAGAN, and empties into the ST LAWRENCE RIVER near BAIE-COMEAU.
		Hydroelectric developments have resulted in the damming of the water flow at the 214 m high Daniel Johnson (Manic 5) Dam, one of the world's largest, situated 40 km south of the reservoir (1971).
		The lake appears on Jonathan Carver's map of Québec (1776) as Lake Asturagamicook, and is shown to be drained by the Manicouagan or Black River.

	Manicouagan Crater
		This is the site of Manicouagan crater; with a diameter of more than 70 km across its prominent rim (the outer shore of the lake), it is one of the largest and best exposed craters on the planet.
		Manicouagan was formed by a meteor’s collision with Earth more than 200 million years ago.
		As a result of underground fluid pressure pushing the rock in the crater upward during a bout of post-impact equilibration, Manicouagan has a plateau in the center, rather than the characteristic depression associated with craters.

		The meteorite responsible for the Manicouagan crater struck in the beginning of the Mesozoic era in the Triassic period.
		The target rock in the vicinity of the crater is Grenville age amphibolite to granulite facies quartz and feldspar gneiss, with local anorthosites, metagabbro and metasediments overlain by Ordovician limestones, dolomites, slates and sandstones.
		As a result of the Manicouagan impact, molten rock and dust from this bedrock left a thin layer of glass beads and shattered mineral grains in a rock deposit in the United Kingdom.

		The giant annular Manicouagan Reservoir in Quebec is the combined result of one of the largest identified asteroid or comet impacts on Earth, the subsequent ice ages, and one of the largest retention dams on Earth.
		The bedrock around it was shattered by the impact; the fragments were scooped up by the ice leaving a deep annular moat.
		The dam ("Manic-5" or "Daniel-Johnson") is located about 60 km south of the excavated annulus, rising 214 meter atop a canyon of the former Manicouagan river along the (only) road to Labrador.

		The impact that formed Manicouagan is thought to have occurred about 212 million years ago, toward the end of the Triassic period.
