Hi all -

I hope that some of you find the map in this piece of interest:

I don't know whether diffraction lenses would form in ice, thus allowing larger fragments to survive, nor can I estimate blast cushioning of later entering smaller pieces, thus ensuring their survival, but perhaps at least some sure impact products may have formed at the bottom of any ice crater.
