A lot of the interesting features on Scottish mountains (e.g. very obvious periglacial trimlines) date to this period.
Edit: It's interesting that the article talks about multiple impacts - including one in the Middle East, perhaps the origin of what became the accounts of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Complete speculation on my behalf, of course!

Did anyone else see this title and expect to see a story about a flying saucer crash and little green men? :)
