Hello Piper and Listees!
Two impressive color photos can also be found in a Meteoritics issue:
MARVIN U.B. and KRING D.A. (1992) Authentication controversies and
impactite petrography of the New Quebec Crater (Meteoritics 27-5, 1992,
pp. 585-595).
The authors describe both early studies of the crater and new
petrographic observations.
Color photo no. 1 is an aerial photograph taken on 1986 August 3 when
ice covered half of the crater lake.
Color photo no. 2 was taken on August 10 when the ice had already
melted.
I have a scanned black & white version in JPEG format in case someone is
interested. My scanned version of color photo no. 1 is relatively good
quality, whereas photo no.2 is only poor quality.
