About Karikkoselkä
Karikkoselkä is a lake. Location: Ostrobothnia, Finland. Elevation: 97 m.
Karikkoselkä is a lake formed in an impact crater in Petäjävesi, Finland. Karikkoselkä is located in Central Finland approximately 30 km east of the centre of Keurusselkä, a much older and larger impact crater. Most lakes in the region are elongated in a northwest–southeast direction due to glaciation, but Karikkoselkä is strikingly round. Many shatter cones, rock formations that form under the extreme pressures of impact, have been found around the lake.
