Hello Rob, List

That structure is not an impact crater. The structure is located
on Sabine Peninsula, Melville Island. The island is largely
formed of an erosion platform of folded rocks and the structure
you see together with another one located near the shore, a little
to northeast are diapirs, not craters. Anyway, the photo is very
tricky....


Best,
Andrei
