We are staying at a hotel in Aurangabad until we head back to Delhi on Sunday, it is a nice hotel, but the stops planned are all over 300 km from the city - at least 4 hours - so if it wasn’t India, today and tomorrow would fall into the definition of a bad field trip. Getting to see the small villages, the cities, and just how non-existing the boundaries are, is incredible. The human impact on the landscape is hard to miss - this makes geomorphology in India especially challenging.
The Lonar Crater, and a smaller crater Ambar Lake are thought to have formed either 50 thousand or 500 thousand years (two sets of dates, both with some uncertainty). It was another warm day (~30 degrees), I am not complaining, I heard about the snow in Alberta!
