Transcription: Reservoir Manicouagan is a dramatic example of the extraterrestrial forces that have shaped our planet and solar system for billions of years. Clearly visible from space, it forms an unmistakable mark on Canada's landscape. This is the second largest lake in Quebec and was formed by an enormous meteorite collision millions of years ago. Scientists believe that a collision of this force could have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. This is a beautiful and unique area. It is thought to get its name from the Cree language, meaning place of bark for early canoe construction.
