The Maniitsoq structure was a proposed 3 billion-year-old (3 Ga) impact structure located in the Akia terrane of the North Atlantic Craton, centred about 55 km (34 mi) south-east of the town of Maniitsoq, Greenland, at 65°15′N 51°50′W / 65.250°N 51.833°W. However, the Maniitsoq structure has not been widely recognised as an impact structure, and the proposal was criticised for not meeting established criteria for recognising impact craters. Furthermore, subsequent studies in the region have demonstrated that there is no evidence for an impact structure, and in fact a number of observations directly contradict the earlier impact structure proposals. The Maniitsoq structure is not recognised as an impact structure by the Earth Impact Database.
