Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that the Batagay crater in Siberia is the world’s largest megaslump. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: the Batagay crater in Siberia is the world’s largest megaslump.
