Description

English: Crater from the 1962 "Sedan" nuclear test as part of Operation Plowshare. The 104 kiloton blast displaced 12 million tons of earth and created a crater 320 feet deep and 1,280 feet wide. (Look to the size of the roads in the bottom-right of the picture, and the observation deck at the lower-right edge of the crater, for a sense of scale)

العربية: فوهة بركان سيدان هي نتيجة اختبار سيدان النووي ويقع داخل موقع اختبار نيفادا، على بعد 12 ميلاً (19 كم) جنوب غرب بحيرة جرووم
