Manicouagan Reservoir in Quebec marks the site of an impact crater
The drowned lake is a 60-km long arc-shaped basin lying within the Manicouagan impact crater, the so-called 'Eye of Québec'. This dataset unravels the geomorphology and the late Quaternary environmental history of one of the deepest lakes in North America, which reached a natural depth > 320 m prior to the impoundment (> 100 m below modern sea level).

Lake Manicouagan is the deepest lacustrine basin in eastern North America. • Proglacial, postglacial and reservoir stages characterize the evolution of the basin. • Lake level changes are inferred from subaerial and subaqueous terraces. • Significant slope processes are illustrated from basin-wide mass-movements.

Manicouagan Reservoir (also Lake Manicouagan) is an annular lake in central Quebec, Canada, covering an area of 1,942 km 2 (750 sq mi). The lake island in its centre is known as René-Levasseur Island, and its highest point is Mount Babel.

The Manicouagan Reservoir, 1,942 km 2, elevation 360 m, is located in southeastern Quebec, about 140 km from the Labrador border. The second-largest natural lake in Quebec, it was created by a meteorite millions of years ago. The name "Manicouagan" is possibly of Innu origin and might mean "where there is bark" (for canoe making).
