Tagish Lake meteorite
The Tagish Lake meteorite impacted the Earth on January 18 2000; reported sightings in the Tagish Lake area in the Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia, Canada were confirmed after more than 500 fragments of the meteorite were found on the lake's frozen surface. Most of the stony, carbonaceous fragments landed on the Taku Arm of the lake, becoming encased in ice as they entered the lake's frozen surface.
