"A rare meteorite impact crater in remote Western Australia has been discovered by an Australian geologist using Google Earth. The Hickman Crater, located in the Pilbara region around 1000 km northeast of Perth, was named for its discoverer, Arthur Hickman, who was using Google Earth to conduct research on channel ore deposits."
